Starting out as a mechanical engineer and having done considerable amount of machine health monitoring and prognosis in the mid-1980s, as well as neural network learning, control and signal processing, the speaker moved on to work in the handwriting, speaker, speech recognition fields, making a connection among these fields and health monitoring. The similarities of these fields are explored and a summary of the research of the last decade in conjunction with the civil engineering department of Columbia University are discussed. Cepstral analysis and deep neural networks originally designed for speaker and speech recognition are at the heart of the techniques that are in this research effort that began over a decade ago. Realizing the similarities in the vibration of structures, such as bridges and buildings, machinery, such as gear-meshes and bearings, and the human vocal tract kicked off this </span>multi-disciplinary<span style="color:rgb(11,83,148)"> effort. Some techniques developed in this approach are shown together with results for health monitoring and structural damage detection. The current affiliates in this research, Raimondo Betti (Prof. of Civil Eng.), Azin Mehrjoo (PostDoc), and Kyle Hom (4th year Doctoral Student) will be at the seminar and available for discussions.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in"><font face="arial, sans-serif" color="#0b5394"> </font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in"><font face="arial, sans-serif" color="#0b5394"><b>Bio:</b> </font><font color="#0b5394">Homayoon Beigi is a Professor of Professional Practice in the departments of mechanical engineering and electrical engineering. He earned his BS, MS, and Doctorate from Columbia in 1984, 1985 and 1991 respectively. The author of the first and only comprehensive textbook on Speaker Recognition, for over three decades he has been involved in research and development in learning-adaptive control, neural network learning, biometrics, speech, speaker, face, object, emotion, and language recognition, as well as Internet-Commerce, and more. As the president of Recognition Technologies, Inc. for 22 years, he developed the multiple award-winning RecoMadeEasy® Recognition Engine and CommerceMadeEasy® software. As an Adjunct Professor at Columbia for thirty years, he taught in the ME, EE, and CS departments and advised PhD students in civil. In 2023, he was selected as one of only 11 finalists for the 5 Presidential Awards for Outstanding Teaching. He was a Research Staff Member at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center from 1991 to 2001, working on handwriting, speaker and speech recognition. He is the recipient of three best paper awards from IEEE and Society of Experimental Mechanics, 13 issued patents and over 120 peer-reviewed publications.</font></p><p style="text-align:justify;margin:0in 0in 7pt;line-height:115%;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Liberation Serif",serif"><span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:115%"></span></p></div>
