His main areas of interest are SHM methods, advanced sensory systems, SHM analysis and data management, smart and adaptable structures, heritage structures, and more broadly, sustainable, resilient, and livable built environment, engineering education, and engineering and the arts. He received degrees in civil engineering and mathematics from the University of Belgrade and his doctorate from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne (EPFL). Prior to joining Princeton, he was employed at SMARTEC SA, Switzerland, where he was involved in research and engineering in numerous structural health monitoring projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 12, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45884380479685,"sku":"9781118495353","price":172.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/qI26d77H049781118495353.webp?v=1771832913","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/introduction-to-strain-based-structural-health-monitoring-of-civil-structures-hardcover","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
