Professor Worden began academic life as a theoretical physicist, with a degree from York University and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Heriot-Watt University eventually followed. A period of research at Manchester University led to an appointment
at the University of Sheffield in 1995, where he has happily remained since. Keith’s research is concerned with applications of advanced signal processing and machine learning methods
to structural dynamics. He has particular interests in structural health monitoring and nonlinear system identification.
