About
Dr. Zhenmao Chen is a leading expert in nondestructive testing (NDT), with a focused application in the structural integrity of nuclear power plants and fusion energy devices. His core research areas encompass eddy current testing, electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMAT), and laser thermography, all aimed at quantitative defect detection. A major contribution is his foundational work on enhancing eddy current techniques for the quantitative inspection of key nuclear components, a study that has garnered 39 citations and remains a critical reference in the field. Dr. Chen has also pioneered the development of a flexible EMAT-scanning system for detecting delamination in the first wall of fusion reactors, and has advanced ultrasonic and laser thermography methods for inspecting tokamak plasma-facing components. His research directly addresses the challenge of identifying critical defects like delamination and surface cracks that arise during both manufacturing and operation. With a career dedicated to ensuring the safety of high-stakes energy infrastructure, Dr. Chen’s work is essential for the reliable operation of next-generation power systems.
