Applied Geotechnologies Research Group

The Applied Geotechnologies Research Group focuses on the development and application of advanced technologies for the analysis, monitoring and management of civil engineering infrastructure and the built environment.

Mission

A central objective of the group is to improve the assessment and maintenance of existing infrastructure, particularly transport systems, through innovative methodologies that enable more accurate diagnosis and informed decision-making.

Expertise

The group combines expertise in geomatics, structural engineering and data analysis to address complex challenges related to infrastructure performance, safety and resilience. Its research integrates techniques such as 3D data acquisition, remote sensing, digital modelling and artificial intelligence.
