Research

DeJong’s research focuses on earthquake engineering, structural dynamics, and monitoring and modeling of civil infrastructure. Among these fields, he is particularly interested in aging infrastructure, renewable energy infrastructure, excavation-induced structural damage, and masonry structures. Some of his research projects investigate the dynamics of rocking structures, the effect of tunneling on surface structures, the assessment of historical structures, and the structural health monitoring of wind turbines.
