About
Aitor García de la Yedra is a researcher specializing in non-destructive testing (NDT) and automated welding inspection, with a focus on sensor fusion and thermal imaging. His work addresses critical challenges in industrial quality control, particularly for limited-access environments. His most cited paper, "A calibration tool for weld penetration depth estimation based on dimensional and thermal sensor fusion" (2021, 10 citations), introduces a novel method combining dimensional and thermal data to improve weld quality assessment—a key contribution to automated manufacturing. Earlier, he demonstrated an automated system for weld inspection using infrared active thermography (2015), offering a non-contact alternative to traditional methods like fluorescent penetrant inspection and eddy currents, which require skilled operator intervention. By reducing reliance on manual inspection, García de la Yedra’s research advances the efficiency and reliability of defect detection in critical infrastructure. His work bridges sensor technology and industrial automation, with applications in aerospace, energy, and heavy manufacturing. With a growing citation record, he is establishing himself as a contributor to the next generation of intelligent, automated NDT systems.
