Yiming Deng

About

Yiming Deng is a Professor of ECE at NDEL, MSU. A Fellow of ASNT, Prof. Deng has extensive experience in sensors and sensing systems for nondestructive evaluation (NDE) and systems health monitoring (SHM). His current research interests include NDE for Advanced Manufacturing, NDE 4.0 and 5.0, AI-enabled NDE/SHM systems with Uncertainty Quantification (UQ), and Statistical Methods in NDE (Causal Inference, Learning). He is interested in developing novel NDE/SHM sensors and sensing systems that involve multi-physics simulations for better understanding of imaging physics and conducting experimental validation as well as sensor prototyping for a wide range of engineering applications to assure critical energy and transportation infrastructures safety, security, reliability and sustainability.
