About

Simon Laflamme is a leading figure in structural health monitoring (SHM) and infrastructure resilience, with his work directly addressing the challenge of keeping our aging civil and aerospace systems safe. His research centers on developing advanced sensing technologies and data-driven methods for the continuous, automated assessment of large-scale structures. A major contribution is his leadership in the "Roadmap on measurement technologies for next generation structural health monitoring systems" (2023, 73 citations), which provides a critical, forward-looking framework for the field. Laflamme is also pioneering the use of artificial intelligence for infrastructure management, as demonstrated in his work on "Review of Artificial Intelligence Applications for Virtual Sensing of Underground Utilities" (2023, 10 citations), a key step toward preventing costly and dangerous utility strikes during construction. By integrating novel sensors with intelligent algorithms, his work is not only advancing the science of SHM but also creating practical tools for safer, more resilient infrastructure.
