About
Dr. Christopher Cree is a robotics engineer whose work focuses on the deployment of autonomous systems for critical infrastructure inspection, particularly within hazardous environments. His primary research areas include mobile robot localization, non-destructive evaluation (NDE), and sensor integration for confined-space operations. Dr. Cree’s most notable contribution is his pioneering work on tracking robot location for the non-destructive evaluation of double-shell nuclear-waste storage tanks at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hanford site. His research addresses the formidable challenge of navigating a robot through a network of narrow air slots in the confined space between primary and secondary tanks, where situational awareness and precise data collection are paramount. While his highly specialized, application-driven work has garnered over 2 citations for his key paper, its true impact lies in its direct contribution to the safe and effective inspection of aging nuclear infrastructure. By enabling robots to operate reliably in these extreme environments, Dr. Cree’s research supports critical safety and remediation missions, demonstrating a powerful synergy between advanced robotics and real-world industrial needs.
