ISNDE Director
Ehsan Dehghan-Niri, Ph.D.,
Dr. Dehghan-Niri is an associate professor in the School of Manufacturing Systems and Networks at Arizona State University. Following a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering with research focused on Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Nondestructive Evaluation/Testing (NDE/T), from University at Buffalo, he took up a position for two years as a NDE/T scientist at Materials and Processes Engineering in General Electric (GE). He is the author of over 30 scientific journal publications, 33 conference publications/presentations, and 13 US and European pending and approved patents. Dr. Dehghan-Niri’s main research interests include bio-inspired acoustic sensing, acoustic-based testing and monitoring methods for inspection of infrastructures and mechanical systems, robotic inspection, and in-situ quality control of advanced manufacturing. In 2021, he received the National Science Foundation CAREER Award. For his contributions to field of NDE/T, he also received a national award “Young NDT Professional Award” from the American Society for Nondestructive Testing. His current research is supported by NSF, DOE, DOD, NASA, NIH, DOT, and several industrial companies.
