About

Tanuj Jhunjhunwala is a civil and coastal engineering researcher whose work focuses on the structural integrity and resilience of critical maritime infrastructure. His primary research areas include non-destructive testing (NDT) of marine structures and the application of submersible remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) for underwater inspection. Jhunjhunwala’s most notable contribution is his pioneering study on the non-destructive testing of quay walls using ROVs in the harsh environments of the North Sea coast. This work, published in 2022 and cited 5 times, addresses a pressing need for reliable inspection methods along the 1,590 km North Sea coastline—one of the world’s busiest commercial shipping routes. By demonstrating how ROVs can effectively detect corrosion and structural degradation in coastal defenses, his research offers a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional diver-based inspections. This contribution is vital for protecting waterways against storms and rising sea levels, directly supporting the long-term sustainability of global trade routes. Jhunjhunwala’s work stands out for its practical impact on infrastructure safety and its integration of robotics into civil engineering, making him a promising voice in the field of coastal resilience.
