Dr. Bulut is Structural and Seismic Specialty Engineer with over fifteen years of experience in performing structural analysis and design for various types of structures including power generation facilities (hydroelectric dams, wind turbines and nuclear power plants), buildings, towers. Dr. Bulut is specialized on inverse problems of solid mechanics and control theory which are often encountered in structural health monitoring (SHM) of aerospace, civil and automotive engineering applications. He completed his doctoral studies at Northeastern University in Boston with Prof. Dennis Bernal. In his doctoral dissertation work he focused on detection and parameter estimation problems and addressed the issues that arise in SHM applications where Kalman filter theory is used to offer solutions such as noise covariance estimation and damage detection by fictive parameter updating. His expertise in which solving the inverse problems are crucial include system identification, state estimation, model updating and damage detection. He has over five years of interdisciplinary research experience in the fields of experimental mechanics, structural health monitoring, model based damage identification, system identification and vibration control. He has been involved in various research projects in the SHM field that are funded by US NSF and TUBITAK. He has worked closely with US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and US Department of Energy (DOE) standards for nuclear facilities, including NUREG 0800, NRC Regulatory Guides, ASCE 4, ASCE 43, ACI 349, ACI 318.

Created in 2001, OSMOS offers to its customers a real-time and continuous structure monitoring solution, ensuring peace of mind on structure control & safety, and maintenance budget optimization, thanks to a turnkey solution at the cutting edge of optical fiber technology, named Optical Strand. OSMOS provides key information on the stability and the overall behavior of structural asset so the decision maker can make on the operability, availability and maintainability of the asset. In order to detect change(s) in the structure, such as deformation, OSMOS install various types of sensors, mainly Optical Strands (proprietary technology) composed of braided fiber optics, which, under strain such as compression or tension, induce micro-curvatures that are then converted into deformation measurements. The numerical signals and data can be obtained through wired systems (OSMOS Expert Data Acquisition System) and/or wireless system (LIRIS) and are converted into information using advanced hardware, software and innovative mathematical and statistical algorithms.
