C. Thomas Chiou is an Associate Scientist in the Center for
Nondestructive Evaluation at Iowa State University. He received his
M.S. (1986) and Ph.D. (1990) degrees in Engineering Mechanics from
Iowa State University, and holds a B. S. (1981) in Aerospace
Engineering from National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan.
His research expertise and interests are in the general areas of
ultrasonic and terahertz NDE with applications involving computer
modeling, signal and image processing and artificial intelligence.
His past projects include crack detection below boltholes in
aircraft skin and phased array simulation for anisotropic media.
Recently, he has advanced in applying both geometric and ultrasonic
models to the characterization of hard-alpha inclusions in titanium
alloys. He is currently focused at material characterization using
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and is actively exploring
new applications of terahertz techniques to NDE problems. Dr. Chiou
has co-authored over 30 technical publications, and is a member of
the American Society for Nondestructive Testing and the Honor
Society of Phi Kappa Phi.
