About
Cuixiang Pei is a leading researcher in nondestructive testing (NDT) for advanced nuclear fusion systems, with a focus on ensuring the structural integrity of tokamak plasma-facing components (PFCs). His work centers on developing innovative ultrasonic and thermographic inspection techniques to detect critical defects such as delamination and surface cracks that arise during both manufacturing and operation. Pei’s major contributions include the design of a flexible electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT)-scanning system, which enables reliable, in-situ detection of delamination in the first wall of fusion reactors—a key safety challenge. His highly cited 2018 paper on this system has garnered 13 citations, while his comprehensive 2019 review of ultrasonic testing and laser thermography for PFCs has earned 10 citations, reflecting the growing importance of his research. By bridging the gap between advanced NDT methodologies and the extreme environments of fusion devices, Pei is helping to pave the way for safer, more reliable next-generation energy systems. His work is essential reading for engineers and scientists tackling the nondestructive evaluation challenges of high-temperature, high-radiation fusion components.
