Hae Young Noh is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University. His research introduces a new concept called 'structure sensors' that enables physical structures such as buildings and vehicle frames to be aware of their environments and the users within them. This idea allows structures to indirectly sense human behaviors and environmental conditions using embedded responses, which poses a shift in viewing structures as mere passive objects. Traditionally, structures have been viewed as unchanging entities that require dense sensor arrays to monitor and control, which can often lead to confounding 'noise' from their occupants. Noh's work utilizes this 'noise' to empower structures to perceive and understand information about their surroundings actively. By using simpler hardware and high-rate dynamic sensing techniques, his research aims to enhance the sustainability of structural systems and improve occupants' quality of life. Furthermore, he has received multiple awards for his contributions to the field, including several Student Paper Awards from the ASCE Engineering Mechanics Institute and Google Faculty Research Awards.
