About

Anthony J. Mulholland is a researcher advancing the frontiers of industrial process analysis and precision manufacturing through innovative metrology and imaging techniques. His key research areas include ultrasonic array imaging, bubble size distribution analysis, and optical-based metrology for large volume manufacturing. Mulholland’s major contribution lies in repurposing ultrasonic phased arrays—traditionally used in sonar, medical diagnosis, and nondestructive testing—as a novel imaging tool for industrial processes. His 2020 paper on this topic, which has garnered 11 citations, demonstrates the potential to precisely determine bubble size distributions in complex industrial environments, offering a non-invasive, real-time monitoring solution. Additionally, his 2018 work (5 citations) addresses positional uncertainty in optical-based metrology systems, a critical challenge for autonomous precision manufacturing and component assembly. By tackling the inherent inaccuracies of light-based measurement in large volumes, Mulholland’s research supports the development of more reliable automated systems. His work bridges the gap between established imaging technologies and emerging industrial needs, making him a notable contributor to process optimization and quality control in manufacturing.
