About

Mandar M. Dewoolkar is a leading researcher in geotechnical and structural engineering, with a focus on integrating advanced sensing, automation, and digital modeling for infrastructure resilience. His work bridges the gap between physical and digital systems, particularly through the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) combined with automated and robotic technologies. In his highly regarded 2014 paper, "Integration of Automated and Robotic Systems with BIM for Comprehensive Structural Assessment," Dewoolkar proposed a conceptual framework for embedding data from robotic structural sensing into BIM platforms, enabling intelligent, real-time structural health management. This contribution has been cited over five times and remains foundational for researchers exploring smart infrastructure and digital twins. Beyond this, Dewoolkar’s broader research portfolio includes soil-structure interaction, geotechnical earthquake engineering, and sustainable construction materials. His work is characterized by a practical, systems-level approach that aims to improve the safety, longevity, and efficiency of civil infrastructure. With a career marked by interdisciplinary collaboration and a commitment to translating research into real-world applications, Dewoolkar continues to influence both academic inquiry and engineering practice in the evolving field of intelligent infrastructure systems.
