About
Morteza Tabatabaeipour is a researcher specializing in non-destructive evaluation (NDE), ultrasonic guided waves, and robotic inspection systems, with a particular focus on advancing automated structural health monitoring for industrial applications. His most significant contributions center on the development and application of Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducers (EMATs) for generating shear horizontal (SH) guided waves, enabling couplant-free, efficient detection of wall thinning and defects in steel structures. A defining thread throughout his work is the integration of guided wave ultrasonics with robotic platforms — most notably his pioneering research into guided wave-based Occupancy Grid Mapping, which applies robotics algorithms to construct inspection maps of unknown components, work that has collectively attracted over 30 citations. His 2020 paper on miniaturised SH EMATs for robotic screening and his 2021 study on ultrasonic guided waves for robotic mapping each garnered 28 citations, reflecting strong community interest. More recently, Tabatabaeipour has addressed practical deployment challenges, including EMAT array optimisation, calibration-free analysis for variable material properties, and RGB-D camera error mitigation for robust robotic inspections. His body of work represents a compelling bridge between advanced ultrasonics and intelligent robotic systems for real-world industrial inspection.
