About

Pengzhi Ma is a leading researcher in the field of advanced nondestructive testing (NDT), with a primary focus on robotic ultrasonic testing for high-value aerospace components. His work centers on the quality inspection of complex curved surfaces, particularly aero-engine blades, where he has pioneered automated ultrasonic techniques that offer superior accuracy and efficiency compared to traditional methods. Ma’s most cited paper, “Robotic Ultrasonic Testing Technology for Aero-Engine Blades” (2023, 23 citations), addresses the growing demands of the aerospace industry for rigorous, automated inspection of intricate geometries. Building on this foundation, his recent work, “Dual-Objective Optimization of G3-Continuous Quintic B-Spline Trajectories for Robotic Ultrasonic Testing” (2025), tackles the critical challenge of unstable motion and insufficient detection accuracy during scanning of free-form surfaces. By proposing a G3 continuous trajectory planning method, Ma directly improves the reliability of robotic NDT under high curvature and irregular shape conditions. His contributions are vital for ensuring the structural integrity and safety of modern aircraft engines, positioning him as an emerging authority in the intersection of robotics, trajectory optimization, and ultrasonic inspection.
