Chatzis Manolis
Regular biography
Manolis Chatzis is an Associate Professor of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford, affiliated with the Department of Engineering Science. His research focuses on the study of Dynamic Systems that exhibit Non-Linearities, with an emphasis on modelling, testing, identifying, and mitigating the response of such systems. Current research areas include Structural Health Monitoring and Vibration Monitoring, where his work involves inferring system properties and detecting damage through sensor data. His research also addresses the modelling of non-linear dynamic systems, particularly those involving contact and frictional interfaces, with applications to infrastructure elements such as bridges and wind turbines. Additionally, he explores vibration monitoring for museum exhibits and develops algorithms for real-time hybrid testing and identification.
