About

Alexander Horsfall is a leading researcher in structural health monitoring, with a focus on the application of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology to civil infrastructure. His work centers on advancing the use of low-cost, multi-GNSS receivers for assessing the dynamic behavior of structures such as bridges, offering a more accessible and scalable approach to safety evaluation. His most-cited paper, "Assessment of the accuracy of low-cost multi-GNSS receivers in monitoring dynamic response of structures" (2022, 16 citations), demonstrates a critical contribution: validating that affordable GNSS systems can achieve sufficient precision to track structural displacements in real-world conditions. This work bridges the gap between high-end monitoring solutions and practical, cost-effective field applications, enabling wider adoption of continuous structural health assessment. Horsfall’s research is particularly impactful for aging infrastructure, where frequent, low-cost monitoring can preempt catastrophic failures. By integrating multi-constellation GNSS data, he has enhanced the reliability of displacement measurements, making his findings essential for engineers and researchers working to modernize infrastructure safety protocols.
