Dr Andy Nguyen is currently a senior lecturer in structural engineering in School of Civil Engineering and Surveying and an affiliated member of Centre for Future Materials at USQ. His research is in the broad areas of structural engineering with a special focus on structural health monitoring (SHM) and condition assessment of existing civil infrastructures. He specialises in ambient vibration monitoring, output-only data analysis, non-contact sensing, and automated crack/defect identification using AI/deep learning. Dr Nguyen currently co-chairs the Early Career Researcher Committee (Oceania Division) of International Society for Structural Health Monitoring of Intelligent Infrastructure (ISHMII). He has also been an executive committee member of the Australian Network of Structural Health Monitoring (ANSHM) since 2014. Dr Nguyen has supervised/mentored over ten PhD candidates to completion in the SHM research area.
