About
Joshua Murillo is a civil engineer focused on the structural health monitoring of aging transportation infrastructure. His research centers on developing practical, non-destructive evaluation methods to assess the condition of bridges and roadways. Murillo’s most cited work, “Use of Remote Structural Tap Testing Devices Deployed via Ground Vehicle for Health Monitoring of Transportation Infrastructure” (2022, 8 citations), introduces an innovative approach that automates the traditional tap test—a technique used to detect delaminations and voids in concrete. By deploying a remote sensing device via a ground vehicle, his method enhances safety and efficiency, allowing for rapid, large-scale inspections without lane closures or direct worker exposure. This contribution addresses a critical need for transportation agencies tasked with preserving deteriorating infrastructure. Murillo’s work bridges the gap between traditional field inspection and modern robotics, offering a scalable solution for proactive maintenance. His research is particularly relevant as agencies seek cost-effective ways to extend the service life of vital assets, making him a notable emerging voice in the field of infrastructure resilience and smart sensing.
