        *Host*: Debasis Mitra

        *Abstract:* The latest advancements in structural health
        monitoring of bridges and machinery have a lot of incommon with
        speaker recognition techniques.  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 multi-disciplinaryeffort. 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.

        *Bio:* 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.
