Dr.Partha Sengupta | Structural Health Monitoring | Best Researcher Award

 

AECOM,India

Profile

Education

He holds a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur (2018–2023), with a perfect CGPA of 10/10. His doctoral research focused on “Finite Element Model Updating of Structures in Bayesian Framework and Enhanced Model Reduction Techniques.” Prior to this, he completed his M.Tech in Civil Engineering from IIEST, Shibpur (2014–2016), earning a CGPA of 9.03/10, with a thesis on the “Application of Ground Penetrating Radar in Concrete Evaluation, Pavement Profile, and Utility Detection.” He obtained his B.Tech in Civil Engineering from West Bengal University of Technology (2010–2014) with a CGPA of 9.02/10.

Professional Experience

Dr. Partha Sengupta conducts research in Structural Health Monitoring, focusing on model updating within a Bayesian framework using an enhanced model reduction technique with incomplete modal and time history response data. His work involves developing an iterative model reduction technique in the frequency domain by eliminating stiffness terms from the transformation equation, effectively mapping the full model and predicting its dynamic responses. The modified equation depends on measured modal responses and invariant mass matrices, eliminating the need for repeated evaluations of stiffness terms typically required in structural health monitoring (SHM) updating algorithms. Furthermore, this model reduction approach is integrated with a sub-structuring scheme, making it applicable to large finite element models. Additionally, Dr. Sengupta has developed an improved Bayesian model updating technique within the Transitional Markov Chain Monte Carlo (TMCMC) framework in the frequency domain, incorporating modifications to enhance the TMCMC algorithm.

AWARDS & ACHIEVEMENTS:

He received the Professor Amiya K. Basu Research Award in Structural Dynamics from the Department of Civil Engineering, IIEST Shibpur, and an additional monthly stipend of ₹10,000 from MHRD in 2022, along with his institute fellowship.
