Research Activity
The research activity has been carried out at the Ultrasound and Non Destructive Testing Laboratory of the Department of Information Engineering, University of Florence, and has been focused on the development of ultrasonic and microwave sensors and electronic systems for medical applications and non destructive testing. The development of sensors and electronic instruments for measuring systems in different fields (biomedical, industrial, space, security and cultural heritage) has involved several techniques: Ultrasound, Ground Penetrating Radar, Holographic Radar and Infrared.
The research activity devoted to Ground Penetrating Radar started in 1992 with a research fellowship at the Non Destructive Testing Centre, Harwell Laboratory, Oxfordshire (UK).
He has also participated in national projects (PRIN) for the development of diagnostic ultrasound systems , radiotherapy with proton beams and CNR projects for thermal pyroelectric sensors for laser beam characterization.
Since 2002 he has formed and coordinated a research working group that allowed the development of new research lines in the non destructive testing field with the support of international projects and scientific collaborations.
The main achievements for each research line are summarized below:
ULTRASOUND
- Flexible ultrasound transducers with piezopolymer films for airborne ultrasonic imaging systems
- Guided waves (Lamb waves) flexible ultrasound transducers with piezopolymer films for structural health monitoring of composite materials for spacecraft reusable components
- Tomographic methods for breast medical imaging and non destructive testing
- Three dimensional Vector Doppler for vascular ultrasound
ACOUSTIC
- Characterization of buried objects with acoustic-seismic methods
MICROWAVE RADAR SENSORS
- Buried objects detection and dielectric materials characterization with Ground Penetrating Radar and Holographic Radar
INFRARED
- development of pyroelectric arrays for low and high power infrared lasers
This research activity has also had an impact in technology transfer with the support for the working group through research contracts with national and international companies and research institutions. In particular an international collaboration has been established (USA, Russia, United Kingdom, and Japan) that resulted in the foundation of the "Rascan Group” (www.rascan.com) for the development of applications of holographic radar for searching shallow buried objects and for the characterization of dielectric materials. The "Rascan Group" was selected to participate in the Summer Science Exhibition organized for the 350th Anniversary of the Royal Society celebrated in London in 2010 .
