We have demonstrated a combined inspection and data communication approach for Lamb-wave Structural Health Monitoring. A paper was recently accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control. Abstract: Guided ultrasound waves have long been studied in the context of structural health monitoring (SHM). More recently, they have also been proposed for...Read More

A joint work on bone fracture sensing and acoustic data communication with Prof. Barker and Dr. Bhavsar (both are from Frankfurt Initiative for Regenerative Medicine, University Hospital Frankfurt) has been published in Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology. Abstract: Approximately 6.3 million fractures occur each year in the United States alone. Accurately monitoring the progression of...Read More

For my scientific achievements, I was shortlisted by Academics for the “Young Scientist of the Year 2018” award. My application was nominated as one of the ten best (Germany-wide and across all disciplines).Read More

The European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2019) took place in Krakow (Poland). I have presented two papers at the conference: the first one was about jointed electromagnetic waveguides and the second about microwave breast cancer detection. References: Moll, J., Numerical and Experimental Analysis of Defect Detection in Jointed Electromagnetic Waveguides, 13th European Conference...Read More

Founding meeting of the subcommittee on Guided Waves together with the expert committee for Structural Health Monitoring and expert committee for Acoustic Emission Testing at Airbus Helicopters in Donauwörth. In the subcommittee on Guided Waves I am coordinating all activities related to signal processing. Currently, three working groups collaborate on ultrasound imaging, wavefield analysis, and...Read More

The Open Guided Waves platform has been developed to provide benchmark measurements for guided wave-based non-destructive testing (NDT) and structural health monitoring (SHM). The platform is online now and can be accessed here: http://www.open-guided-waves.deRead More

Ultrasonic guided waves have been used successfully in structural health monitoring (SHM) systems to detect damage in isotropic and composite materials with simple and complex geometry. A limitation of current research is given by a lack of freely available benchmark measurements to comparatively evaluate existing methods. This paper introduces the extendable online platform Open Guided...Read More

Elastic guided waves constitute a promising approach for structural health monitoring (SHM) applications involving composite structures. Guided-wave SHM systems are composed of a network of ultrasonic sensors, which are permanently attached to a structural component. Besides monitoring, the supplementary capability of the network nodes to exchange information across this mechanical wave-guide itself, represents an innovative...Read More
