Biography
Jing Rao is a Professor at Beihang University. She previously served as a Lecturer at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia, and held an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship at the Technical University of Munich, Germany. She received her Ph.D. degree from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Her research focuses on ultrasonic non-destructive testing and structural health monitoring. She has led over 30 research projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Beijing Natural Science Foundation, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, and UNSW Australia, among others. Currently, she serves as an Associate Editor for Measurement, Ultrasonic Imaging, and the IEEE Open Journal of Signal Processing. Her recent conference roles include serving as a Session Chair for the 2021 Australian Aerospace and Applied Mechanics Congress and the 2023 International Congress on Ultrasonics, as well as a Technical Program Committee Member for the 2023 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium. She is also a committee member of the Structural Health Monitoring and Prognostics Division of the China Instrument and Control Society and the Non-Destructive Testing Division of the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society.
Madis Ratassepp is a Senior Research Fellow at Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech), Estonia, specializing in wave propagation modeling and ultrasonic non-destructive evaluation. He received his Ph.D. degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from TalTech. His research focuses on guided wave tomography, full waveform inversion, and advanced signal processing for structural health monitoring of composite structures, pipes, and plates. He has led several key research projects, including Quantitative Imaging Methods and Efficient Signal Processing Algorithms for Ultrasonic Non-Destructive Evaluation (2020–2024), and currently serves as Principal Investigator of Advanced Acoustic Sensing and AI-Driven Underwater Monitoring Methods for Maritime Environmental Protection and Security (2026–2030). His work has been published in leading journals such as Ultrasonics, NDT & E International, and Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing. Dr. Ratassepp supervises Ph.D. and Master’s students, actively serves as a reviewer for international journals, and holds academic leadership roles including Doctoral Program Manager in Civil Engineering and Architecture at TalTech.
