Teaching and Research Statement
I have been working on nondestructive and geophysical DIAGNOSIS and IMAGING of unseen members and hazards in underground utility networks and concrete infrastructures, or simply ‘SEEING THE UNSEEN’. My main teaching and research interests include survey & mapping, 3D imaging, and diagnosis of engineering structures, underground utilities, construction materials, hydro-geophysics, and site of archaeology values. These techniques include ground penetrating radar, infrared thermography, acoustic, ultrasound, electrical resistivity, acoustic leak noise correlation, etc.
