Acikgoz Sinan

Sinan Acikgoz is an Associate Professor of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford, affiliated with the Department of Engineering Science. His research interests include masonry structures, structural health monitoring, structural dynamics, and soil-structure interaction. He is based at the Information Engineering Building and can be contacted via email at sinan.acikgoz@eng.ox.ac.uk. His work focuses on the dynamics of rocking structures, the impact of underground construction on nearby buildings, and the structural response of ageing masonry arch bridges. He also explores vision-based remote sensing techniques for structural assessment and post-earthquake forensic analysis of historical monuments.

Sinan Acikgoz is an Associate Professor at the University of Oxford, specializing in masonry structures, structural health monitoring, structural dynamics, and soil-structure interaction. His research focuses on understanding the behavior of masonry structures under dynamic loads, such as earthquakes and tunnelling, and developing advanced monitoring techniques for structural integrity assessment. Acikgoz's work includes the application of digital image correlation, point cloud data analysis, and neural networks for deformation mapping and damage detection in historical and modern masonry constructions. His studies also explore the interaction between soil and foundations, particularly in the context of tunnelling-induced damage.
