About
Dr. Ashish Anthony Jacob is a leading researcher in the field of structural health monitoring and underwater infrastructure assessment. His work focuses on developing and deploying quantitative non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques using remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) to evaluate the structural integrity of submerged concrete assets. Dr. Jacob’s major contributions include pioneering the integration of advanced NDT methods—such as ultrasonic and radar-based imaging—with ROV platforms, enabling safe, remote inspection of critical marine and civil infrastructure like quay walls, dams, and bridge foundations. His research directly addresses the growing risk of catastrophic failures in ageing port, harbor, and coastal structures, as highlighted by recent national and international disasters. With his most-cited paper, “Assessment of Structural Integrity of Submerged Concrete Structures Using Quantitative Non-Destructive Techniques Deployed from ROVs” (2022, 14 citations), and related work on North Sea coast quay walls (2022, 5 citations), Dr. Jacob has demonstrated the practical viability of these technologies in harsh, high-traffic environments. His achievements include advancing the safety and longevity of coastal defenses and waterways, making him a key figure in resilient infrastructure research.
