About
Wei Xiao is a civil and geotechnical engineer whose research focuses on the structural health monitoring and safety assessment of large-scale water infrastructure, particularly reservoir dams and slopes. His most cited work introduces a novel, cost-effective method for water level measurement during dam displacement monitoring, using the image sensor of a robotic total station to eliminate the need for traditional staff gauges. This contribution directly addresses a critical operational challenge in dam safety, enabling more efficient and continuous automated surveillance. Beyond this, Xiao’s broader research portfolio includes the development of advanced displacement monitoring techniques and the application of machine learning for predicting slope instability. With over 2 citations on his recent 2024 paper, his work is gaining traction among practitioners and researchers in geotechnical instrumentation and hydraulic engineering. His innovative integration of surveying robotics with structural health monitoring marks a practical step forward in making dam safety protocols more robust and less labor-intensive, positioning him as an emerging voice in the field of infrastructure resilience.
