About

Pouyan Khalili is a researcher advancing the field of non-destructive evaluation (NDE) through the integration of robotics and sensor technology. His work focuses on developing automated inspection systems that improve safety and efficiency in industrial settings, particularly for detecting defects like corrosion and cracks in hard-to-reach components. Khalili’s major contributions include the creation of a wireless acquisition system for electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) compatible with the Robotics Operating System (ROS), enabling robotic deployment of NDE probes in hazardous environments. This innovation reduces the need for manual inspections, which are often costly and dangerous. He also pioneered a visually encoded contact inspection system for EMATs, enhancing autonomous defect detection by combining visual data with sensor feedback. While his citation counts are currently modest—5 for his 2020 work and 4 for his 2022 study—his research represents a critical step toward safer, more efficient industrial maintenance. Khalili’s work is particularly notable for its practical application in harsh environments, where robotic NDE systems can replace human operators, marking a significant achievement in the intersection of robotics and materials inspection.
