Dr. Halabe has over twenty years of research and field testing experience in the area of nondestructive testing and evaluation of structural components. He has numerous publications to his credit in the area of nondestructive evaluation of timber, steel, concrete, and composite structural components. His expertise includes the use of several nondestructive testing techinques such as ultrasonics, ground penetrating radar, infrared thermography, fiber optics, and vibration based technologies.
Dr. Halabe is a Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers and member of two honorary socities, Chi Epsilon and Tau Beta Pi. He is a recipient of the Outstanding Young Researcher Award (1992-93), from WVU's College of Engineering.
He also received the Civil and Environmental Engineering Departmental Excellence in Teaching Awards for the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 academic years. |
