Dr Miaomin Wang

Dr. Wang is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Vibration Engineering Section. He obtained his PhD from the Dalian University of Technology in 2022. During his Ph.D, he constructed a low-cost and portable real-time displacement monitoring system, based on a custom-developed image processing software and Raspberry Pi. The constructed system has been applied in displacement measurement of long-span bridges, including Xinghaiwan Sea-Crossing Bridge (China), Beida Suspension Bridge (China), Clifton Suspension Bridge (UK), and Trews Weir Suspension Bridge (UK).

He is currently working on the EPSRC-funded project, "Revolutionising Operational Safety and Economy for High-value Infrastructure using Population-based SHM (ROSEHIPS)." His research focuses on developing low-power, high-performance, wireless autonomous synchronized recorders for long-term infrastructure monitoring. In collaboration with Arqiva, a British telecommunications company, he has contributed to the development of a wireless stereo vision system for long-term 3D displacement monitoring of high-guyed masts. This system has been successfully implemented at the 235-meter-high Stockland Hill Transmitter Station.
