About
D. Lomparski is a specialist in applied superconductivity and non-destructive evaluation, best known for pioneering the use of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) SQUID gradiometers in industrial inspection. His most cited work, "Aircraft wheel testing with machine-cooled HTS SQUID gradiometer system" (1999, 43 citations), introduced an automated system for detecting deep-lying fatigue cracks in aluminum aircraft wheel drums—a critical safety application given the extreme dynamic loads these components endure. By integrating machine-cooled HTS sensors, Lomparski overcame key limitations of conventional eddy current techniques, enabling reliable detection of subsurface flaws without physical contact. This contribution advanced the practical deployment of SQUID sensors in real-world aerospace maintenance, bridging the gap between laboratory physics and industrial quality assurance. His research has influenced subsequent work in cryogenic sensor systems and structural health monitoring, demonstrating how quantum sensing can enhance safety in high-stress engineering environments.
