Dr Piotr Omenzetter

Biography

Piotr graduated with a ME from Technical University of Gdansk, Poland. He then obtained his PhD from The University of Tokyo, Japan for a study on aerodynamics of long span bridges. Piotr later stayed on in Asia working as a postdoctoral researcher at The University of Tokyo and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. It was then that he developed strong interest in dynamic testing and structural health monitoring, which remain the main thrusts of his research activities. He then worked as a lecturer at The University of Auckland, New Zealand, and moved subsequently to The University of Aberdeen’s Lloyd’s Register Foundation Centre for Safety and Reliability Engineering.

Research Overview

• Wind turbines, off-shore and subsea structures, bridges, buildings, floors.
• Structural health, condition and performance monitoring and damage detection (instrumentation of full scale structures and systems, methods of data analysis and interpretation, optimal data collection, quantifying the value of monitoring information).
• Theoretical and experimental structural dynamics (full scale dynamic testing, system identification, model updating, fluid-structure interaction, soil-structure interaction, vehicle-structure interaction, human induced vibrations, numerical methods).
• Reliability analysis.
• Engineering decision making under uncertain conditions.
• Quantitative risk assessment (off-shore and subsea structures and systems, wind turbines, bridges and transportation systems).
• Asset structural integrity management (off-shore and subsea structures and systems, wind turbines, bridges and transportation systems)
• Engineering optimisation (wind farms).
• Earthquake engineering (full scale instrumentation, damage prediction and detection).
• Artificial intelligence and signal processing (big data, deep learning, data analytics, time series analysis, evolutionary computation algorithms, neural networks, wavelets).
• Structural control and smart structures (wind farms, bridges).
