Abstract
I recently had the privilege of presenting two research papers at SPIE Thermosense in Orlando. It was a wonderful opportunity to exchange insights and discuss advancements in thermographic methods applied to welding processes. The first paper, “Use of frequency-based methods for quantitative evaluation of resistance spot welds,” co-authored with Valentino Razza and Manuela De Maddis from Politecnico di Torino, introduces innovative frequency analysis techniques for assessing welding quality. The second, “Real-time thermographic monitoring for automated defect detection in welding,” developed with Raffaella Sesana, presents a system for real-time defect analysis through infrared imaging, enhancing process reliability and quality control.

I’m excited to share that I recently had the privilege of presenting two research papers at SPIE Thermosense in Orlando! It was a wonderful opportunity to exchange insights and discuss advancements in thermographic methods applied to welding processes.

The papers presented were:

  • “Use of frequency-based methods for quantitative evaluation of resistance spot welds”
    Co-authored with Valentino Razza and Manuela De Maddis (Politecnico di Torino), this research introduces innovative frequency analysis techniques to quantitatively evaluate resistance spot welding quality.

  • “Real-time thermographic monitoring for automated defect detection in welding”
    In collaboration with Raffaella Sesana (Politecnico di Torino), this study demonstrates a real-time monitoring system using infrared thermography for automated detection and analysis of welding defects—enhancing process reliability and quality control.

A special thanks to my co-authors and the SPIE community for the enriching experience and fruitful discussions.
