Lisa J. H. Brasche is Associate
Director for the Center for Nondestructive Evaluation at Iowa State
University where she serves as Program Manager for the FAA Center
for Aviation Systems Reliability and Engine Titanium Consortium as
well as for the Air Force funded program in Quantitative Inspection
Techniques for Aging Military Aircraft. She received her M.S. in
Metallurgy from ISU in 1987 and her B.S. in Materials Science and
Engineering from North Carolina State University in 1984. Prior to
her graduate career she worked with Duke Power Company in their
Nondestructive Testing and Nuclear Maintenance division,
coordinating statistical evaluation of nondestructive testing of
nuclear components. Her thesis concerned the effect of hydrogen and
oxygen on the internal friction of refractory alloys. Her research
efforts have been in evaluation of material properties and detection
of detrimental mechanical conditions using nondestructive techniques
in ferrous and nonferrous alloys, beginning in 1987. She currently
leads a significant research effort that is generating engineering
data for fluorescent penetrant inspection. Results of the program
were recognized with the 2004 Better Way Award from the Air
Transport Association and FAA. Her responsibilities are in the
areas of technology transfer, outreach and training for CNDE
including
establishment of the Iowa Demonstration Laboratory which provides
NDE
assistance to Iowa Manufacturers. Brasche has authored over 30
publications and holds one patent.
