Research

The Soga Research Group carries out research in the field of geotechnical and infrastructure engineering. We are interested in developing new monitoring technologies, which allow gaining insight into the behavior of infrastructure, detecting anomalies, and providing data for performance analyses. On top of that, we are also conducting research on city-scale modeling and simulations to evaluate the value of sensing for better management of infrastructure during operation as well as for better response during and after natural disasters such as earthquakes and wildfires. Our research groups are divided into four sub-categories as follows.
