A Filipino structural engineer has won the 2026 James Dyson Global Sustainability Award and £30,000 for developing Sentinel, a sensor that detects hidden damage in buildings after earthquakes. Developed by Aldrei Ong, the technology uses self-sensing concrete to identify cracks and monitor structural changes. The invention could help engineers assess potentially unsafe buildings more quickly and reduce the risk of collapse.
