Novel Test and Evaluation (T&E) Systems

Prof. Georgakopoulos’s research group is developing new wireless and battery-free T&E systems for advanced sensing and structural health monitoring. This project supports the Air Force’s mission by leading to discoveries that will transform the development of: (a) intelligent and efficient diagnostics and prognostics, and (b) light-weight and safe airborne structures with extended service life as well as reduced fuel and maintenance costs. Also, our research is expected to have significant impact to other important technologies for the Air-Force and DoD, such as, smart runways, nano-satellites, smart skins for hypersonic vehicles, autonomous portable devices, integrated circuits, and embedded sensors.
