Darrel's major research and
development interests are in the area of ultrasonics, including
inspection system design, phased array ultrasonics, and ultrasonic
inspection techniques. In the first of these areas, Darrel has aided
in the ongoing development of an ultrasonic inspection system for
automated transducer characterization. Interests in phased arrays
include inspection techniques and system integration with current
automated c-scan hardware. He has helped to integrate a phased array
system with an existing 3-axis c-scan system allowing phased array
hardware to be used in conjunction with existing automation.
