About
Seong-Hoon Kee is a leading researcher at the intersection of structural health monitoring, nondestructive evaluation (NDE), and autonomous robotics, with a particular focus on civil infrastructure inspection. His most celebrated contribution is the development of the RABIT (Robotics Assisted Bridge Inspection Tool), an autonomous robotic platform that revolutionized bridge deck assessment by integrating multiple NDE technologies to rapidly detect delamination, corrosion, and concrete deterioration. This groundbreaking work, documented across several highly cited publications, addressed critical inefficiencies in traditional manual inspection methods and demonstrated real-world applicability through landmark deployments such as the Arlington Memorial Bridge. His 2017 paper on autonomous bridge deck inspection alone has garnered over 120 citations, reflecting the field's recognition of his work. Beyond bridges, Kee has expanded his research to pavement crack evaluation and AI-assisted ultrasonic analysis for detecting steel corrosion-induced concrete damage, showcasing his commitment to advancing intelligent automation in infrastructure maintenance. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 400 across his key publications, Kee's work continues to shape how engineers approach safer, more efficient, and cost-effective assessment of aging civil infrastructure.
