About
Joshua White is a leading figure in the field of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) for critical infrastructure, with a specialized focus on underwater transportation tunnels. His research centers on the practical application and validation of advanced sensing technologies—including ground-penetrating radar (GPR), ultrasonic tomography (UST), and impact echo (IE)—to assess the structural integrity of aging concrete linings. White’s most cited work, a 2016 field study at the Chesapeake Channel Tunnel, stands as a landmark demonstration of how to integrate multiple NDT methods in a challenging submerged environment. By systematically comparing air-coupled and ground-coupled GPR alongside UST and IE, he provided engineers with a validated protocol for detecting voids, delaminations, and other hidden defects without disrupting tunnel operations. This practical, data-driven approach has informed maintenance strategies for major underwater assets, earning his paper 15 citations and establishing a benchmark for future field evaluations. White’s contributions bridge the gap between laboratory sensor development and real-world infrastructure management, making him a trusted authority for agencies tasked with preserving the safety and longevity of vital subaqueous transit systems.
