Population-Based Structural Health Monitoring [PDF]
, 2021 One of the dominant challenges in data-based structural health monitoring (SHM) is the scarcity of measured data corresponding to different damage states of the structures of interest. A new arsenal of advanced technologies is described here that can be used to solve this problem. This new generation of methods is able to transfer health inferences and

The value of monitoring to control evolving populations [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015 Significance Evolution of drug resistance, as observed in bacteria, viruses, parasites, and cancer, is a key challenge for global health. We approach the problem using the mathematical concepts of stochastic optimal control to study what is needed to control evolving populations.
