About
Dr. Marc Georges is a leading expert in laser ultrasonics and nondestructive evaluation (NDE), with a specialized focus on the inspection of advanced aerospace composites. His research centers on developing fiber-coupled laser ultrasonic systems for the non-contact, non-destructive testing of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP)—materials critical to modern aviation. Dr. Georges’ major contributions include pioneering the use of pulsed lasers to generate ultrasound in composites via the thermoelastic effect, enabling inspection of complex-shaped components where traditional ultrasonic methods fail. His comparative studies of generation beam wavelengths (10.6 µm infrared vs. 532 nm visible) have advanced the understanding of optimal excitation for different material properties. While his most-cited works, such as "Non destructive inspection of aerospace composites by a fiber-coupled laser ultrasonics system" (2017) and "Performances comparison of a laser ultrasonic system..." (2016), have garnered early citations, they represent foundational steps toward industrial adoption of laser-based NDE for safety-critical aerospace structures. Dr. Georges’ work directly addresses the industry’s need for reliable, flexible inspection of curved and intricate CFRP parts, positioning him as a key contributor to the future of non-contact ultrasonic testing.
