Branko Glišić, received his degrees in civil engineering and theoretical mathematics at University of Belgrade, Serbia, and his Ph.D. at the EPFL, Switzerland.

He spent eight years with SMARTEC SA, Switzerland, where he was involved in numerous Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) projects. Since then he has been employed, first as an assistant professor, and currently as an associate professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University.

His vision is a ubiquitous and pervasive deployment of SHM for civil structures and infrastructure, and his main areas of interest are SHM methods, advanced sensors based on fiber-optics, large-area electronics and conductive polymers, SHM data management and analysis, smart structures and heritage structures.

Prof. Glišić received 2013 SHM Person of the Year Award by the editors and associate editors of Structural Health Monitoring: An International Journal, as well as several other awards. He is author and co-author of more than hundred published papers, university and short courses on SHM, and the book Fibre Optic Methods for Structural Health Monitoring. He is member of ASCE, SEI, EMI. He also is vice president and council member of ISHMII, and a member and and or committee participant of several other professional associations (ACI, IABSE, IABMAS, etc.) and journal editorial boards (Sensors, ASE, SMM, and FBE).
