Christian E. Silva

This researcher's engineering work focuses on structural and mechanical testing methods, including real-time hybrid simulation (a technique that combines physical testing with computer models to study how structures respond to forces like earthquakes), fault detection in machinery using machine learning, and energy harvesting systems for sensor networks. Some publications also cover seismic-resistant building design using alternative construction materials. Note that the bibliographic record includes some publications on food microbiology topics (bacteria in water and cheese) that appear unrelated to the engineering work and may reflect a shared name with another author.

Publication output has grown over the last decade, rising from just a couple of papers per year around 2017-2019 to roughly 5-6 papers per year from 2022 onward.
