About

Dr. Tongtong Tian is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of non-destructive evaluation, space robotics, and intelligent manufacturing. Her work spans three critical domains: ultrasonic testing for aerospace components, autonomous control of free-flying space robots, and robotic path planning for nuclear energy systems. Her most impactful contribution is an ultrasonic testing method for turbine blade wall thickness (34 citations), which provides a reliable, non-invasive technique for assessing structural integrity in high-performance engines. She also developed a fuzzy sliding mode control algorithm for astronaut assistant robots (31 citations), enabling stable free-flying dynamics and precise manipulation in microgravity environments—a key step toward autonomous robotic support in space stations. Most recently, Dr. Tian has advanced nuclear safety with a multi-objective optimization approach for robotic disc grinding of reactor coolant pump casings (12 citations), demonstrating her ability to solve complex, high-stakes industrial challenges. Her work is characterized by rigorous mathematical modeling and practical implementation, earning recognition across aerospace, space exploration, and nuclear engineering communities. Dr. Tian’s research continues to push boundaries in robotic autonomy and precision inspection.
