Research summary
AI-generated

Zhihao Kong works on monitoring and testing the structural health of concrete and other infrastructure materials, using embedded sensors (such as piezoelectric transducers) and ultrasonic wave methods to assess strength, compactness, and timing for opening structures to traffic. More recent work extends into applying AI and deep learning techniques to problems like defect detection, deformation prediction in aircraft, and non-destructive testing analysis, showing a broadening from civil/materials engineering into machine-learning-assisted engineering applications.
