About
Dr. Al Ghorbanpoor is a leading figure in structural engineering and infrastructure health monitoring, with a distinguished career focused on the nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of civil infrastructure. His research centers on developing advanced technologies to detect hidden deterioration in bridges and other critical structures, particularly corrosion in steel and prestressed concrete components. A hallmark of his work is the integration of robotics with magnetic flux leakage (MFL) systems, exemplified by his highly cited 2020 paper on a robotic NDE system for prestressed concrete bridge girders. This innovation, which has garnered 15 citations, allows for autonomous, continuous scanning of AASHTO-type I-girders, providing a safer and more efficient method to assess corrosion in embedded steel. Dr. Ghorbanpoor’s contributions have significantly advanced the field of structural health monitoring, offering practical, field-deployable solutions that enhance bridge safety and longevity. His work bridges the gap between laboratory research and real-world infrastructure management, making him a key authority on the application of robotics and magnetic sensing for the preservation of aging transportation networks.
