On enhancing data-driven structural health monitoring with explicit and implicit procedures

Dr. David García Cava, University of Edinburgh, (Scotland)

Foto of Dr. David García Cava Dr. David García Cava has received his degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Technical University of Madrid, M.Sc in Advanced Structural Engineering from Edinburgh Napier University and his Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Strathclyde, Glasgow in 2006, 2012 and 2016 respectively. He is currently a Chancellor Fellow in the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.
From 2006 until 2010, before his PhD studies, David worked in the industry for 4 years as Structural Engineer where he put in practice his knowledge in engineering applications. From 2016 until 2017 he was a Teaching Associate and from 2017 until 2019 a Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in the University of Strathclyde before he joined the University of Edinburgh. David’s research interest varies from structural health monitoring, structural dynamics, structural system identification, virtual sensing, condition monitoring, data-driven & hybrid methods for condition assessment. David is leading a research group that blends his research expertise towards developing methodologies for reducing maintenance cost and extending the useful life of new and/or existing structures by adding value with intelligent algorithms for supporting decision-making. He has published numerous articles in scientific journals and on peer-reviewed conferences. David has been awarded with the prestigious John Moyes Lessells Travel Scholarship by The Royal Society of Edinburgh, and the Flatman grant by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. David is a Charted Engineer by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, where he is member since 2014 and an active member of the Edinburgh and South & East Scotland committee. He is also a Fellow of The Higher Education Academy, United Kingdom since 2018. He has co-organized a Mini-Symposia on Vibration-based Structural Health Monitoring: Data Analysis and Time Series Methods within the framework of the International Conference on Engineering Vibration2017 (ICoEV 2017), Bulgaria. He has been Associate Technical Program Chairs in Measurement for Renewable Energy Systems in the International Instrumentation & Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC) 2021, Scotland and is also part of the technical advisory panel of the International Conference on Health Monitoring of Civil & Maritime Structures (HEAMES). David is a Topic Editor in Sensors MDPI Journal and member of the scientific board of Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering Journal.
