Speaker
Logan Wilcox
Graduate Research Assistant
Missouri University of Science and Technology
Advanced Post-Processing for Microwave Thermographic Inspections
Biography
Logan M. Wilcox is a Graduate Research Assistant in the Microwave Sensing (µSense) Laboratory at the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T). Logan’s research focuses on applications of microwave heating, with a primary focus on Active Microwave Thermography (AMT). In addition to microwave heating, he has research interests in microwave curing, additive manufacturing, and microwave hyperthermia. Logan is a part of the inaugural class of the Kummer Innovation and Entrepreneurial Doctoral Fellowship at Missouri S&T and is a recipient of the 2021 I2MTC Graduate Student Fellowship.
