About
Dr. Ivan Jakopec is a geodesist and civil engineering researcher whose work bridges the gap between traditional surveying and modern structural health monitoring. His primary research areas include vibration monitoring of civil engineering structures, the application of contactless vision-based technologies, and the development of low-cost instrumentation for geodetic data collection. Dr. Jakopec’s most significant contribution lies in his pioneering work on the "Vibration Monitoring of Civil Engineering Structures Using Contactless Vision-Based Low-Cost IATS Prototype" (2021, 15 citations), where he demonstrated how affordable, non-contact sensors can replace expensive traditional equipment for tracking structural oscillations. This innovation has practical implications for the long-term maintenance and safety assessment of bridges, towers, and buildings. His research underscores the evolving role of geodesists from mere construction planners to key players in infrastructure lifecycle management. By advocating for the use of accessible technology in structural monitoring, Dr. Jakopec has opened new avenues for cost-effective, real-time data collection in civil engineering, making his work particularly valuable for students and professionals seeking sustainable solutions in structural health monitoring.
