CNDE hosted its Spring 2026 Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) Meeting on April 21-23.
As usual, CNDE hosted a Pizza with Students event, during which our board members connected with students interested in working in the NDE community after graduation.
Every spring, R.B. Thompson & O.D.& O.U. Trapp Fellowship recipients present a poster to the board members and visitors, showcasing their research.
CNDE researchers presented updates on five research projects that commenced in August 2025. Board members reviewed the project presentations and gave feedback on each project.
Also presented were ten proposals from CNDE researchers on various topics selected by our members for potential funding.
IAB members from ASNT, AFRL, Boeing, GE Aerospace, General Motors (GM), IHI Corp., Naval Nuclear Laboratory (NNL), Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls-Royce were in attendance, as well as invited guests.
