Manolis Chatzis

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 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, which aim to infer system properties and detect damage through sensor data and dynamic responses. His work also involves developing observability and identification algorithms for infrastructure elements like bridges, wind turbines, and buildings, as well as vibration monitoring for museum exhibits. Additionally, he explores modelling Non-Linear Dynamic Systems with contact and frictional interfaces, particularly for rocking components and systems subjected to dynamic excitations such as earthquakes, wind, and traffic.

Manolis N. Chatzis is an Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering Science at The University of Oxford, specializing in Non-Linear Dynamics, Earthquake Engineering, Structural Health Monitoring, and System Identification. His research focuses on the observability and identifiability of nonlinear structural systems, the modeling of rocking dynamics, and the development of robust system identification methods. He has contributed to experimental validation of time-domain identification techniques and the analysis of energy loss in rocking systems. His work also includes the application of Kalman filters for non-smooth dynamic problems and the use of monocular vision for studying three-dimensional rocking motion.
