CNDE Responsibilities

Joseph N. Gray is a Physicist in the Center for Nondestructive Evaluation and an Adjunct Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Iowa State University.  He has been with the Center for NDE since 1986.  Dr. Gray received a Ph.D. in Physics from The University of Michigan (1985), a M.S. in Physics (1980) from the Pennsylvania State University, and a B.A. (1977) in both Physics and Mathematics from The University of Colorado.  His major research interests are in X-ray techniques.  The emphasis of his work in this area is in the development of computer modeling of X-ray inspectability, XRSIM and CTSIM development of energy sensitive measurements, real time inspections methods, new X-ray detectors, and image processing techniques.  Dr. Gray has co-authored 74 technical publications in the area of X-ray and neutron NDE techniques.  Additional areas of activity include the development of high resolution 3D computed tomography and the 3D visualization tools, high energy x-ray diffraction and refraction techniques for material characterization.
