University

Porto, Portugal

With origins dating back to the eighteenth century, the _University of Porto (U.PORTO)_ is currently one of the most prestigious Higher Education Institutions of Europe. It has 35,000 students, 3,700 teaching staff and researchers, and around 1,750 administrative staff spread across its 14 faculties and 1 business school. It also has 48 scientific research units located across 3 university campuses in the city of Porto. The _Faculty of Engineering (FEUP) is the largest faculty of U.PORTO__, with about 8,300 students (degree) and 1,000 teaching staff and researchers across 6 departments. It is located in the Asprela Campus, the main university campus in the city of Porto._ FEUP is in the heart of Porto Innovation District and is the engine behind the success of The Science and Technology Park of the University of Porto, UPTEC, the winner of the 2013 European Region Stars Award for Smart Growth.

About me

I am interested in techniques for assessing the condition of cables in cable-stayed structures. Vibration problems, non-linearities, and interactions in the context of extending the life of infrastructure are among my preferred topics for supervision.

    Robots and Vision Systems for Condition Assessment of Tensioned Cables

    Robotic cable inspection has relied on climbing robots with cameras for visual checks. Here, the robot is used as a sensor to localize sections, apply loads, and identify mode shapes and cable parameters, merging robotics, vision, and civil engineering.
