About
Dominic M. Thompson is a leading researcher in the field of transportation infrastructure health monitoring, with a specific focus on developing innovative, non-destructive evaluation techniques. His work centers on the integration of remote sensing technologies and ground vehicle deployment to assess the structural integrity of aging bridges, roads, and tunnels. Thompson’s most notable contribution is his pioneering use of remote structural tap testing devices—a method that automates the traditional manual sounding technique to detect subsurface defects like delaminations and voids. His 2022 paper on this topic, which has garnered 8 citations, demonstrates a scalable, cost-effective solution for transportation agencies facing the monumental challenge of preserving deteriorating infrastructure. By combining robotics, sensor technology, and structural engineering, Thompson is advancing a new paradigm for proactive maintenance. His research not only promises to extend the lifespan of critical assets but also enhances public safety. As a rising voice in civil infrastructure resilience, Thompson’s work is directly shaping how we monitor and maintain the backbone of modern society.
