Sensors Webinar | Vision Sensors and Systems in Structural Health Monitoring
Meet Our Speakers
Dr. Alessandro Sabato
Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Massachusetts Lowell, MA, USA;
Dr. Alessandro Sabato earned a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Calabria, Italy, in December 2014. During his doctoral studies, he spent 18 months at Columbia University as a visiting Ph.D. student and Research Associate working on experimental testing for vibration-based monitoring of heritage buildings and oil drilling pipelines. In October 2015, Dr. Sabato joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UMass Lowell) as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. At UMass Lowell, he investigated innovative sensing for structural evaluation using i) computer vision, ii) unmanned aerial vehicles, and iii) MEMS devices. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the same university, working on integrating noncontact, wireless, and computer vision techniques with unmanned vehicles for automated assessment of large-scale engineering systems. His research interests include acoustics, machine learning, nondestructive evaluation, sensors development, smart structures, structural dynamics, and structural health monitoring. Dr. Sabato and his research group have received funds from federal agencies, private companies, and industrial partners to progress data analytics and solutions in thrust areas, which perfectly align with his research interests.

Organizer
On Tuesday, 26 July 2022, MDPI and the Sensors Journal organized the 4th webinar on Sensors, entitled "Vision Sensors and Systems in Structural Health Monitoring".
The introduction was held by the Chair of the webinar, Dr. Alessandro Sabato, who was also the first speaker. His presentation was entitled "A Novel Sensor-Based Calibration Approach for Large-Area Stereophotogrammetry". Since October 2015, he joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Lowel as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, where he is currently an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering.
The second presentation was held by Dr. Krzysztof Holak with his presentation "Novelty Detection in Structural Vibration Analysis Based on Video Data". He is Assistant Professor at the AGH University of Science and Technology in Cracow, Poland.
The third speaker was Professor Billie F. Spencer with his presentation "Advances in Computer-Vision-based Civil Infrastructure Inspection and Monitoring". He holds the Nathan M. and Anne M. Newmark Endowed Chair in Civil Engineering in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The presentations were followed by a Q&A and a discussion, moderated by the Chair Dr. Alessandro Sabato. The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend. The full recording can be found here on Sciforum website.
