About
C.B. Selleck’s research career centered on the development of advanced imaging and inspection systems for hazardous environments, particularly within the U.S. Department of Energy’s nuclear waste remediation efforts. His major contributions lie in creating non-destructive characterization technologies for underground storage tanks (USTs) containing radioactive and mixed wastes—a critical challenge for environmental cleanup. Selleck pioneered the use of structured light sources to generate three-dimensional surface maps of waste storage silos, enabling visualization of highly irregular interiors filled with pipes, mounds, fissures, and crystalline structures. His 1991 paper on imaging systems for UST remediation (6 citations) and his 1992 work on 3-D surface mapping (5 citations) laid foundational methods for remote inspection in dangerous, inaccessible spaces. While his citation counts are modest, Selleck’s work directly addressed a pressing national need: safely characterizing waste tanks without human entry. His achievements include developing practical sensor systems that could operate in extreme radiation and chemical environments, advancing the DOE’s ability to plan remediation strategies. For students and researchers in environmental sensing and nuclear waste management, Selleck’s research exemplifies how engineering innovation tackles real-world hazardous waste challenges.
