Summary
Jinyoung Kim is a research associate at Rutgers' Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation with 16 years of experience in structural and material engineering, specializing in nondestructive evaluation and automated inspection systems for civil infrastructure. She earned a Ph.D. from UT Austin studying passive wireless sensors for health monitoring of cementitious materials and has led development of multi-physics sensor suites for the Robotic Assisted Bridge Inspection Tool (RABIT™). Her work spans corrosion detection, concrete durability at multiple scales, recycling of solid waste into construction materials, and translating laboratory sensing methods into field-ready NDE programs used by DOTs and federal agencies. Known for bridging academic research with practical deployment, she coordinates multi-institutional teams and serves as a technical resource and data repository for transportation decision makers. An often-overlooked strength is her hands-on background in large-scale structural testing and sensor integration, giving her a rare combination of experimental, computational, and field implementation expertise.
