University Park, Pennsylvania, Usa

Lead researcher studying the use of an experimental fiber optic sensor for non-destructive testing and monitoring of steel and concrete structures. Concluded that interferometric fibers were a promising method of monitoring structures and predicting the onset of structural problems such as cracks in steel structures and concrete structures and loose, missing, or severely corroded bolts or rivets on steel structures.
