We are pleased to welcome Francisco Pinheiro to the INTENT project team. Francisco is completing a Master’s in Engineering Physics at the University of Minho and brings experience in embedded systems, real-time sensing, low-power wireless communication, microcontroller programming and signal processing.

On June, 18, 2025, Roxana Banabic has delivered a presentation entitled "Health monitoring of road infrastructure using bender elements embedded in pavements" at the Transportation Systems Conference (TS 2025).

Transportation Engineering has just published (in open-access) a new paper on how a sound-proofing technology can be used to improve the quality of the output signal in bender element experiments.

The INTENT Project welcomes in its Lisbon hub the Romanian researcher and project collaborator Roxana Banabic. She'll be with us in Lisbon for four months to implement fatigue models for unbound granular materials.

At the University of Minho, Carolina Melendez has reached the one-meter milestone between transmitter and receiver bender elements. This mark was made possible by the development of a signal amplification circuit by Marcos Martins and João Rocha.

We are pleased to announce that Hélder Silva, a Master's graduate in Civil Engineering, has joined BUILTCOLAB as part of the INTENT project team. Hélder will be responsible for the development of the cyber-physical system that will coordinate, collect, store, and make available a wide range of data gathered from the monitoring of an experimental section.
