Personal profile

Research interests

My main area of research focuses on structural dynamics. In particular, human-structure interactions and pedestrian-induced vibrations during locomotive biomechanics and rhythmic activities, such as walking, jumping, and running. I am interested in both experimental testing and theoretical modelling. I have used system identification techniques to evaluate reduced-order empirical relationships directly from experimental measurements. This has enabled the fundamental characterisation of human rhythmic jumping, and the associated interactions, on stationary and flexibly oscillating structures. I am currently working on developing mathematical models and calibrating them with experimental measurements.

I have been using non-linear dynamics to capture and characterise the intricate human-structure interaction phenomena observed both in practice and the laboratory environment.

In 2019 I joined the Earthquake and Geotechnical Research Group as a Research Associate which has led to a recent research interest in Earthquake Engineering.
