Current and Completed Projects
Current Projects:
- „Non-destructive investigation of anisotropic materials using air-coupled ultrasound” (2023-2025), aimed to develop database for automation of a broadband, single-sided, contact-free, ultrasound-based non-destructive-testing method for defect characterization Funding through the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), Walter Benjamin Programme. Personal grant for Dr.Olga Popovych, (Projektbeschreibung)
- „Digitalisierung von Infrastrukturbauwerken zur Bauwerksüberwachung: Structural Health Monitoring” (2025-2026), for the development and implementation of methods that allow reliability-based digital condition assessment of existing infrastructure using data from various sensors. Funding through the Centre of Digitization and Technology Transfer (DTEC.bw). Project partners: Technical University of Munich, Chair of Non-Destructive Testing; Helmut-Schmidt-Universität/Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg, (Projektbeschreibung)
- „BrückenCT Förderschwerpunkt „Innovationsprogramm Straße“ (2025-2026), Extension of the service life of bridges through non-destructive testing using X-ray computed tomography. Funding through the “Innovationsprogramm Straße” of the Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen (BASt).

- „TUM-CU cooperation for the Preservation of Egyptian Cultural Heritage using Non-Destructive Testing Methods” (2024), aims to combine research and teaching activities to exchange and develop new set-ups and approaches for the in-situ material characterization and non-destructive testing (NDT) methods in cultural heritage, mainly in the development of new approaches for the investigation of Pyramids at the Giza plateau. Funding through Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst, German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Project partner: Cairo University, Egypt (Projektbeschreibung)
- “Ultrasound measurements for full waveform inversion (FWI)” (2025-2027), which goal is to compare different simulation methods used for the NDT purposes. Funding through the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). Project partners: Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Chair of Computational Modeling and Simulation (TUM) (Projektbeschreibung)
