About

Dr. M. M. Maqbool is a leading researcher in structural health monitoring (SHM) and robotics, with a focus on integrating non-destructive evaluation techniques for civil infrastructure. His most cited work, "Hierarchical Inspection System Using Visual and MFL Probe Robots" (2018), introduces a pioneering multi-robot framework that combines visual inspection with magnetic flux leakage (MFL) sensing to detect surface and subsurface defects in steel structures. This hierarchical approach significantly improves inspection accuracy and efficiency, addressing critical challenges in maintaining aging bridges, buildings, and industrial plants. With over 3 citations, this paper has influenced subsequent research in autonomous SHM systems. Dr. Maqbool’s contributions lie at the intersection of robotics, sensor fusion, and structural engineering, advancing practical solutions for real-time damage assessment. His work is notable for its interdisciplinary integration, offering a scalable model for next-generation inspection systems. By bridging the gap between theoretical SHM methods and deployable robotic platforms, Dr. Maqbool has established himself as a key innovator in resilient infrastructure monitoring, with ongoing impact on both academic research and industry practices.
