About
Kyu-Jin Lee is an emerging researcher specializing in non-destructive testing (NDT), robotics, and composite materials inspection, with a particular focus on advancing automated evaluation techniques for aerospace applications. His work centers on integrating pulse-echo laser ultrasonic testing (LUT) with robotic systems to enable precise, contactless inspection of complex composite structures — a critical challenge as the aviation industry increasingly adopts advanced composite materials and 3D-printed components. Lee's most significant contributions involve developing intelligent robot arm control systems that leverage 3D scanning data to maintain optimal sensing geometry — including perpendicular impingement angles and consistent stand-off distances — across curved and irregularly shaped composite workpieces. His 2024 paper on path planning for 3D-printed composite inspection has already garnered 11 citations, reflecting rapid recognition within the NDT and robotics communities. His subsequent 2025 work further refines these scan-based control approaches, accumulating 7 citations shortly after publication. Collectively, Lee's research addresses a pressing industrial need: automating reliable structural integrity assessment for next-generation aerospace components. His integration of robotics, laser ultrasonics, and 3D scanning positions him as a promising contributor to the future of smart manufacturing and automated quality control.
