Dr. Musa Norouzian is an assistant professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Florida Polytechnic University. Before joining Florida Poly, Norouzian served as a postdoctoral associate in the Mechanical and Materials Engineering Department at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he also earned his Ph.D. His research focuses on computational and experimental nondestructive materials characterization using ultrasound.

Ramon Vela III works as a research assistant at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. He is part of the Quantitative Ultrasonics for Inspection and Structural Prognosis (QUISP) Research Group which focuses on quantitative methods for ultrasonic inspection. Primary research in ultrasonic inspection of Micro-Textured Regions (MTRs) in Ti6Al4V.

I am Marzieh Bahreman, currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Engineering Science and Mechanics Department of Pennsylvania State University. I work alongside Dr. Kube, focusing on wave scattering in micro-structured media. Our research delves into understanding the impact of higher-order correlations among elastic fluctuations to elucidate ultrasonic diffusivity in complex polycrystalline microstructures. These structures may exhibit anisotropic properties, multiple phases, pores, among other complexities. Additionally, we utilize numerical models to simulate wave propagation in polycrystals, employing pure stress formulation methodologies.
