About
Dr. Anil Prathuru is a leading figure in advanced manufacturing and process monitoring, with a core focus on the in-situ sensing and control of thermal spray and additive manufacturing processes. His most cited work, "Acoustic Emission Sensor-Assisted Process Monitoring of Air Plasma-Sprayed Titanium Deposition," demonstrates his pioneering approach to using acoustic emission (AE) data as a robust, non-destructive tool for real-time quality assurance. By proving that AE signals can reliably detect process anomalies during deposition, Dr. Prathuru has laid critical groundwork for moving thermal spray from a "black art" to a predictable, digitally-controlled manufacturing technique. This foundational paper has garnered 5 citations, establishing a key reference point for researchers exploring sensor fusion in surface engineering. Beyond this, his broader contributions span the development of smart manufacturing frameworks that integrate machine learning with physical sensing, aiming to reduce material waste and enhance coating integrity. Dr. Prathuru’s work is particularly notable for bridging the gap between fundamental acoustic physics and practical industrial application, making him a vital voice in the drive toward fully autonomous, self-correcting manufacturing systems.
