Dr. Buzz Wincheski
NASA
An Eddy Current Case Study using NASA’s Transfer Function and Limited-Sample Probability of Detection Guidebooks
Biography
Dr. Wincheski has worked as an instrumentation scientist at NASA Langley Research Center for over 30 years, leading the development of multiple eddy current based sensor systems. He has led the research, development and successful deployment of novel eddy current inspection technologies to ensure safety and mission success for Space Shuttle, International Space Station (ISS), Artemis, and Commercial Crew programs. Among the inspection technologies he developed are those that helped characterize multi-site fatigue damage in aging aircraft, crack growth on the ISS, COPVs for Shuttle, Orion, Commercial Cargo and Commercial Crew, Shuttle Reinforced Carbon Carbon, main engine flowliner and radiator retract flex hose. His recent research efforts in eddy current NDE have focused on the continued development of inspection systems for composite overwrap pressure vessels, propulsion system bellows, and critical thin walled tubing. He recently received the NASA Exceptional Service Medal and has been inducted into the NASA Inventors Hall of Fame. Dr. Wincheski received his Ph.D. in Solid State Physics from the College of William and Mary in 1999.
Dr. Daniel Kanzler
Applied Validation of NDT
Reliability Evaluation: Turning NDT into a Financial Advantage with POD
Biography
Dr. Daniel Kanzler has dedicated over 15 years to the field of reliability evaluation for non-destructive testing (NDT) systems. In 2016, Dr. Kanzler established the consulting company "Applied Validation of NDT," providing support to international companies on NDT/E reliability. Since 2017, he has held the position of Chairman for the International Committee for Non-Destructive Testing (ICNDT) Specialist Group on ”NDT Reliability”. Furthermore, since September 2022, he has assumed the leadership of the standardization committee NA 068-08-28 under DIN, focusing on the "Qualification of testing methods."
