About

Mingqiao Chen is a civil engineer specializing in structural health monitoring and underground infrastructure resilience. His research focuses on developing innovative sensor technologies for real-time deformation tracking in tunnels and geotechnical systems. Chen’s most-cited work, "Wireless tilt sensor based monitoring for tunnel longitudinal settlement: Development and application" (2023, 20 citations), introduces a cost-effective, low-power wireless tilt sensor array that enables continuous, high-resolution measurement of tunnel settlement without disrupting operations. This contribution addresses a critical gap in long-term infrastructure safety, offering a practical alternative to traditional manual surveys and wired systems. By validating the sensor’s performance in field applications, Chen has demonstrated its potential for early warning of structural distress in metro and railway tunnels. His work bridges sensor design, data analytics, and civil engineering practice, with implications for smart city infrastructure management. With growing interest in resilient urban systems, Chen’s research is poised to influence monitoring standards and risk mitigation strategies for aging underground assets.
