About
Joseph Hashem is a researcher at the forefront of non-destructive testing (NDT), specializing in the automation of high-precision X-ray and neutron imaging. His work bridges robotics and materials science, developing autonomous manipulation systems that enhance the accuracy and repeatability of computed tomography and radiography for critical industrial and national security applications. Hashem’s most cited paper, “Automating High-Precision X-Ray and Neutron Imaging Applications With Robotics” (2017, 20 citations), details a groundbreaking robotic NDT system implemented at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the University of Texas at Austin. This system addresses the challenge of precisely measuring complex parts while tracking their geometry—a vital capability for inspecting sensitive components. His dissertation (2015, 3 citations) further advances flexible automation for NDT, and his theoretical work on neutron damage in robotic manipulators (2016, 3 citations) provides essential insights for deploying robots in high-radiation environments. Though his citation counts are modest, Hashem’s contributions are highly specialized and impactful within the niche of automated imaging, laying the groundwork for safer, more efficient inspection of critical infrastructure and advanced manufacturing components.
