About
Jean Dumoulin is a leading figure in the field of non-destructive testing (NDT) and structural health monitoring, with a particular focus on advanced infrared thermography techniques. His research centers on the development and optimization of active thermography methods for the inspection of composite materials, especially carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) used in aerospace and civil infrastructure. Dumoulin’s major contribution lies in the comparative analysis of robotic-assisted thermographic inspection systems, where he has pioneered the integration of 6-axis robots for dynamic data acquisition and thermal excitation. His most-cited work, "Comparative study of Line Scan and Flying Line Active IR Thermography operated with a 6-axis robot" (2018), systematically evaluates two NDT approaches on CFRP specimens of increasing geometric complexity—from planar to convex shapes—demonstrating the feasibility and limitations of each method. With 6 citations, this foundational study has informed subsequent research in automated, high-throughput inspection. Dumoulin’s work bridges robotics and thermal imaging, enabling faster, more accurate detection of subsurface defects. His achievements highlight a commitment to advancing practical, scalable NDT solutions for modern composite structures.
