About
Hanqing Chen is a rising expert in nondestructive evaluation (NDE), with a focused research program on advanced eddy current testing for structural integrity assessment. His work centers on the detection of critical manufacturing defects in novel building materials, particularly addressing the challenge of inspecting brazed joints in stainless steel core panels—a promising structure for fast modular construction. Chen’s major contribution lies in developing pulsed eddy current (PEC) techniques that enable automated, rapid, and reliable detection of incomplete brazing defects, which are notoriously difficult to identify due to process variability. His 2022 paper on this topic has already garnered 15 citations, establishing a foundation for the field. Building on this, his 2023 study refined the methodology by leveraging the first peak value of PEC signals for even more sensitive defect characterization, earning 11 citations in a short time. These works demonstrate Chen’s ability to translate complex electromagnetic physics into practical inspection tools, directly impacting quality control in modern construction. His research is particularly notable for bridging the gap between laboratory NDE methods and real-world industrial applications, making him a key voice in the push toward safer, more reliable modular building technologies.
