Foxborough Native Wins Young Researcher Award for Work in Civil Engineering

David Vines-Cavanaugh, current Ph.D. student at Northeastern University’s College of Engineering, won first place for the Young Researcher Award at the International Symposium on Non-Destructive Testing in Civil Engineering (NDT-CE 2015).

Vines-Cavanaugh earned the Young Researcher Award for his presentation on the paper he co-authored with eight colleagues, “City-Wide Application of a Vehicle-Mounted Multi-Sensor Pavement Monitoring System.”

The NDT-CE brings together experts from all areas of civil engineering research and application for open exchange and discussion of new ideas and developments in the field. This year the International Symposium was held in Berlin, Germany.

A Foxborough native, Vines-Cavanaugh is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in the college’s department of Civil and Environmental Engineering under the advisement of professors Ming Wang and Ralf Birken.
