- The results in this paper were transformative for aircraft composite testing as they demonstrated a method for detecting barely visible impact damage, subsurface defects and internal micro-cracks; the method is scalable for in-situ mechatronic scanning. This body of work is referred to among the seven recommended review papers on microwave technologies for composites (https://ecm-academics.plymouth.ac.uk/jsummerscales/mats347/ReviewPapers.htm#M) where Professor Summerscales is regarded as a leading expert in the field. Z. Li (PhD student) was awarded a Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Students Abroad and has proceeded to set up his own research group at NUAA with government and industrial funding.
