Dr. Swarup Mahato received his Ph.D. in Structural Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati in 2019, where he developed time–frequency–based signal processing techniques for modal parameter identification. He completed his M.Tech. (2013) at the same institute, focusing on fragility analysis and performance-based design of reinforced concrete frames, and earned his B.E. in Civil Engineering from Bengal Engineering & Science University, Shibpur, in 2010. Supported by MHRD fellowships throughout his graduate studies, he developed strong expertise in structural dynamics, probabilistic analysis, and performance-based design.
His research broadly spans vibration-based structural health monitoring, inverse dynamics, signal processing for condition assessment and predictive maintenance, time–frequency analysis, data-driven modeling, wireless sensing networks, vibration control, and bridge dynamics.
Dr. Mahato has gained academic, research, and industrial experience across India and Europe. Since August 2025, he has been serving as Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur, teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses while pursuing research in inverse dynamics and intelligent condition assessment. Previously, he worked as Project Researcher at Aarhus University, Denmark (2024–2025), contributing to digital twin development for parameter estimation and virtual sensing, and at Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania (2021–2023), focusing on photogrammetry and digital image correlation for damage prognosis. His earlier roles include Project Fellow at IIT Guwahati (2021), Postdoctoral Researcher at Université Gustave Eiffel, France (2020–2021) working on vibration-based wind turbine monitoring, Research Engineer at ABB, Bengaluru (2019–2020) in predictive maintenance and Industry 4.0, and Design Engineer at M.N. Dastur & Company, Kolkata (2010–2011).
He is a recipient of the MUSIWIND Postdoctoral Fellowship and the Best Paper Award in Structural Health Monitoring from ISSS–Springer. He serves as a reviewer for leading international journals, including Structures, Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, IEEE Access, and Engineering Research Express, and is a member of ASCE, SEI, and ISHMII.
