About
Dr. Andrzej Katunin is a leading figure in the field of non-destructive testing (NDT) and structural health monitoring, with a particular focus on advanced composite materials used in aerospace. His research centers on the critical challenge of detecting barely visible impact damage (BVID)—a hidden threat to composite structures. Dr. Katunin’s major contributions include a landmark review on BVID evaluation, which systematically compares NDT techniques and proposes data fusion methods to enhance detection reliability. This work, published in 2025, has already garnered 13 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on the field. He is also at the forefront of the NDT 4.0 revolution, having designed a robotized mobile platform for autonomous aircraft inspection. This innovation, detailed in a 2024 paper with 9 citations, integrates robotic mobility with advanced sensing to improve inspection accuracy and efficiency. By bridging the gap between traditional NDT and Industry 4.0, Dr. Katunin is shaping the future of safer, smarter aerospace maintenance. His work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in composite damage mechanics, automated inspection systems, and the digital transformation of structural diagnostics.
