About
Maria Koui is a leading expert in non-destructive evaluation (NDE) and structural health monitoring, with a particular focus on advanced thermographic techniques for composite materials. Her work centers on developing automated inspection procedures that overcome the limitations of traditional manual thermography, such as poor repeatability and lengthy setup times. Her highly cited 2011 paper, "Automated transient thermography for the inspection of CFRP structures," introduced novel experimental protocols and automated scanning methods that significantly enhance the reliability and efficiency of detecting defects in carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) components—critical for aerospace and civil infrastructure. With over 7 citations, this foundational work has influenced subsequent research in automated NDE. Koui’s contributions extend to integrating thermography with robotics and data processing algorithms, pushing the boundaries of real-time, in-service inspection. Her achievements include developing standardized procedures that bridge laboratory research and industrial application, making her a key figure in advancing practical, non-contact inspection technologies for safety-critical structures.
