Kudos to Professor Kielkopf
Congratulations to Prof. John Kielkopf on his recent Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) contract funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR). This award is given to develop an optical non-destructive technique of assessing the quality of bonds in composite materials for state of the art commercial and military aircraft, automobiles, and boats. The proposed approach increases safety, saves time in assessing an airframe, and saves money in unnecessary repairs. The funded project is in collaboration with Spectral Sciences Inc., of Burlington, Massachusetts, and Aurora Flight Sciences research center in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
