Research
Interests
Dr. Moon's research interests include the development
of innovative Structural Identification (St-Id) approaches for constructed
systems; field testing and performance assessment of operating
infrastructures; the development of rapid global testing; seismic
retrofit of existing structures; and earthquake engineering.
