About

Jochen Schlobohm is a researcher specializing in advanced optical metrology and non-destructive testing, with a primary focus on the characterization and damage detection of high-value engineering components. His work bridges the gap between macroscopic and microscopic measurement techniques, particularly for turbine blade inspection. Schlobohm’s most cited paper, "Advanced Characterization Techniques for Turbine Blade Wear and Damage" (2017, 18 citations), introduces a powerful suite of four complementary non-destructive methods—including macroscopic fringe projection with inverse algorithms, robot-guided microscale fringe projection, and high-frequency eddy current testing—to detect material degradation and structural damage. This integrated approach enables comprehensive, high-resolution analysis of complex geometries, offering significant improvements over single-method inspections. By combining optical and electromagnetic techniques, Schlobohm has advanced the reliability of in-service component monitoring, directly impacting maintenance strategies in aerospace and energy sectors. His work is particularly notable for its practical application to real-world turbine blade wear, making it highly relevant for engineers and researchers in non-destructive evaluation and precision metrology.
