Rich Klaassen has a MS in Electrical and Biomedical Engineering from Purdue University and has spent 35 years researching ultrasonic methods for detecting anomalies in safety critical applications. His composite applications have covered polymer, ceramic and intermetallic composites. His Titanium solutions range from detecting Hard Alpha to characterizing microtexture.

Xin Tu is currently a PhD student at the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Innovation in Non-destructive Evaluation (FIND-CDT) at the University of Bristol. She obtained her MEng in Mechanical Engineering (1st Class Hons) in 2021 from the University of Bristol.

Joshua O. Aigbotsua received the M.Eng. degree in mechanical engineering from University of Portsmouth, U.K., in 2019. He is currently pursuing an Eng.D. degree at the University of Bristol in low-frequency vibration inspection of sandwich composites, sponsored by Baugh & Weedon Ltd. In the years 2016 - 2017, he was an Undergraduate Engineering with Pall Corporation, Portsmouth, U.K. His current research interests include low frequency vibration response, defect characterisation, finite element modelling of composites, and model inversion.

Kirtunia Rahul is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering under the supervision of Dr. David Jack at Baylor University.  Before joining Baylor, he worked several years as Assistant Naval Architect and later as Territory Manager in Industrial Coatings industry. He has a B.Sc. in Engineering in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, also along the way of Ph.D., he received his master’s in mechanical engineering from Baylor University. His research area is focused on the damage assessment using Non-Destructive Testing approach (Ultrasound) and implementing Ultrasound information for generating predictive models of composite materials through Finite Element Analysis. He has published several peer reviewed journal papers, conference papers, and presented posters at different conferences. He is from Mymensingh, Bangladesh.
