Nicola's recent CNDE-based research activities include: development of nondestructive evaluation of depth of case-hardening in steels using four-point potential drop methods (NSF/IU program), development of a new microstrip sensor for detecting inhomogeneities in low-conductivity structures (US Air Force), and development of capacitive NDE for investigating integrity of wiring insulation (NASA).
