Dr Benjamin Halkon is an experimentally focused dynamicist specialising in the research development of non-contact measurement techniques and associated technologies for the determination of structural vibration characteristics. Ben’s attention is on the application of laser Doppler vibrometers in complex measurement scenarios for the solution of industry, government and defence relevant engineering challenges. Of particular current interest, as will be the primary focus of the MbL25 keynote, are remote measurements and associated signal processing and analysis approaches from vibrating platforms such as autonomous vehicles.
Having previously completed undergraduate / postgraduate qualifications and academic positions at Loughborough University, Ben was appointed as a Senior Lecturer at University of Technology Sydney in Sept 2017, competitively securing promotion to Associate Professor in January 2023. Ben is a core member of the Centre for Audio, Acoustics and Vibration and was Deputy Head of School from 2018 – 2020, continuing to make a full contribution to teaching and learning to this day. Ben continues to publish research largely in the best discipline-specific journals and actively supports academic conferences alongside like-minded researchers.
The unique multidisciplinary conference where industry and academics come together to discuss applications and solutions of optical measurement techniques.
