About
David Vanoni is a leading figure in the application of advanced non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques for the preservation of cultural heritage. His research centers on the development and refinement of high-resolution thermal imaging methodologies, specifically tailored for the inspection and conservation of historic structures. Vanoni’s major contribution lies in bridging the gap between cutting-edge sensor technology and practical, on-site heritage diagnostics. His most-cited work, “High-resolution thermal imaging methodology for non-destructive evaluation of historic structures” (2015), with 19 citations, established a foundational protocol for detecting subsurface defects, moisture, and material degradation in masonry and wooden architectural elements without causing any damage. This methodology has become a standard reference for conservation scientists and engineers, enabling more informed and less invasive restoration strategies. Vanoni’s work is notable for its rigorous, field-validated approach, demonstrating how thermal imaging can move beyond laboratory settings to become a reliable tool for safeguarding irreplaceable built heritage. His contributions are essential reading for students and researchers at the intersection of engineering, physics, and heritage science.
