Brian鈥檚 work focuses on the development and use of Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation (NDT&E) tools to investigate material systems response to external loading. Primary methods include noncontact methodologies such as Acoustic Emission (AE) and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) for subsurface and surface material evolution studies. His work spans multiple scales from microstructure effects in metallic alloys and composite materials to full-scale remaining useful life and part qualification studies. He developed a method to couple AE and DIC information with microscale damage by leveraging simple AI tools to investigate damage initiation in Aluminum Alloys and has since extended this work to be useful in investigating material systems such as Additively Manufactured Aluminum and Nickel Alloys (Sandia National Labs, TRI-Austin), Ceramic Particle Reinforced Polymers (Dupont), and Composite systems including Glare, IM7/8552 (Army Research Labs, ARL), and a coal-based composite (DOE). His research focuses on linking AE, DIC and other characterization methods in an Internet of Things (IoT) framework to improve data handling and investigate material response to manufacturing processes and external loads.
