Sinan Acikgoz

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 structural response of ageing masonry arch bridges, and vision-based remote sensing techniques for structural assessment. He has published research on topics such as the post-earthquake investigation of ancient monuments and the experimental analysis of rocking and sliding behaviour.

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 the dynamic behavior of masonry structures under seismic and tunnelling-induced loads, with an emphasis on monitoring and assessing structural integrity using advanced sensing techniques. Acikgoz's work includes the application of digital image correlation, point cloud data, and neural networks for deformation analysis and damage detection in historical and heritage masonry buildings. His studies also explore the interaction between flexible structures and foundations, contributing to the understanding of seismic response and soil-foundation dynamics.
