Corona video diary from D-BAUG with Eleni Chatzi (4.6.2020)
Eleni Chatzi, Professor of Structural Mechanics and Monitoring, uses sensors to feel the pulse of buildings in order to monitor their state of health - a concept that engineers use in analogy to the monitoring of health in life sciences.
That is why she also advocates an increased interdisciplinary exchange in science, particularly when it comes to data analysis, modelling and monitoring - or early warning. In these domains epidemiologists and engineers are often faced with similar challenges.
And as a Greek, Eleni Chatzi critically compares the way her home country and Switzerland deal with the Corona crisis and reports on some surprising observations.
