About

Jerzy Dziewierz is a leading researcher in ultrasonic non-destructive evaluation (NDE), with a primary focus on advanced phased array imaging and automated inspection for industrial manufacturing. His work centers on developing and applying cutting-edge ultrasonic techniques—particularly the Total Focusing Method (TFM) and Full Matrix Capture (FMC)—to assess the structural integrity of additively manufactured and welded components. A major contribution is his pioneering use of TFM phased array imaging to inspect wire + arc additive manufacture (WAAM) samples, where he successfully demonstrated the detection of realistic artificial defects, such as those created by electrical discharge machining (EDM) and drilling. His research on intentionally embedding weld defects using robotic welding machines has provided critical, realistic flaw representations for training and structural integrity assessment. Dziewierz also advanced the automation of FMC acquisition for complex geometries, enabling permanent, re-focusable inspection records—a valuable asset for industrial processes. His most cited work, on ultrasonic phased array inspection of WAAM samples (21 citations), and his subsequent studies on intentional weld defects (12 citations) underscore his impact on improving quality control in modern manufacturing. His contributions are essential for ensuring the reliability of additively manufactured and welded structures.
