SPIN GROUP

Computational Sensing for Intelligent Inspection

We develop physics-informed AI systems that see what the human eye cannot — detecting hidden damage in critical structures through advanced sensing, signal processing, and machine learning.

Research Focus

Physics-Based Sensing

Terahertz imaging, electromagnetic methods, and multi-modal data acquisition for subsurface characterization.

AI for Inverse Problems

Deep learning architectures trained on physics-informed features to localize and quantify material degradation.

Intelligent Inspection Systems

End-to-end pipelines from raw sensor data to automated damage assessment — bridging lab research and field deployment.
