About
Dr. Bohai Ji is a leading researcher in structural health monitoring and intelligent inspection for civil infrastructure, with a particular focus on bridge engineering. His work addresses the critical challenge of detecting fatigue cracks in orthotropic steel decks—a pervasive safety threat that traditional methods struggle to assess efficiently. Dr. Ji’s major contribution lies in pioneering advanced robotic and sensing solutions for confined, hazardous environments. Notably, his research on a spatial positioning method for magnetic mobile robots inside closed steel box girders, which integrates ultra-wideband (UWB) sensors with structural boundary constraints, represents a breakthrough in enabling precise, autonomous inspection of hard-to-reach bridge components. This work, published in 2025 and already garnering early citations, demonstrates his ability to merge robotics, sensor technology, and structural engineering. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Ji’s innovations are poised to transform bridge maintenance practices, enhancing both safety and cost-effectiveness. His achievements highlight a commitment to developing practical, field-deployable technologies that protect aging infrastructure and advance the field of nondestructive evaluation.
