معرفی
Patrick Brewick is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences at the University of Notre Dame. His research bridges data analytics, mechanics, and computational modeling to address challenges in structural resilience and material behavior under extreme conditions.
- Ph.D., Columbia University (2014)
- M.S., Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics, Columbia University (2010)
- B.S., Civil Engineering, University of Notre Dame (2009)
Professor Brewick’s work focuses on transforming noisy or incomplete data into accurate predictive models. Key research areas include:
- System Identification: Uncovering physics of seismic protection systems.
- Uncertainty Quantification: Developing Bayesian frameworks for model calibration.
- Damage Detection: Identifying nonlinear structural transitions.
- Microstructural Modeling: Investigating corrosion and material heterogeneity.
- Hybrid Modeling: Balancing high- and low-fidelity simulations.
- Wind Energy Applications: Using distributed fiber optics for turbine monitoring.
His publications span disciplines like structural mechanics, materials science, and biomedical engineering, emphasizing multi-fidelity approaches and probabilistic methods. Current projects address infrastructure resilience against climate change, naval structural reliability, and microstructural impacts on corrosion.
The Brewick Group collaborates extensively, offering open-source tools and inviting partnerships. Students in his lab, such as Ph.D. candidates Reza Farzad and Jichuan Tang, explore cutting-edge applications in structural dynamics and material modeling.
Before Notre Dame, Prof. Brewick conducted research at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, focusing on predictive modeling for heterogeneous systems, including marine structures and brain tissue mechanics.
