introduction
Dr. Yiming Jerry Deng, Assistant Professor of EE, BioE is leading an integrative effort in both research and education to apply advances in engineering, physics, and mathematics to the development of advanced nondestructive/noninvasive or minimally invasive imaging techniques. His current research interests are Imaging/Sensing for NDE/SHM, Intelligent Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) of complex systems, Numerical Modeling and Simulation, that basically cover three methods: analytical, experimental (e.g. nondestructive evaluation techniques, sensors development) and computational (e.g. finite element methods, meshless methods, and multi-physics solvers).

LIIP NEWS:
- Prof. Deng has published the article about Laser based MO imaging collaborated with Prof. Cheng and several PhD students on IEEE Trans. Instruments and Measurement. (updated: 11/5/2012)
- Prof. Deng has won a CU Denver-sponsored Pilot Research Mentorship Program Grant. The research is to develop a near-field microwave imaging technique using open-ended waveguide probes that offers micron to sub-mm spatial resolution and provides non-contact, one-sided and near real-time measurement capabilities at the same time. (updated:10/26/2012)
- Prof. Deng gave an invited talk on "EC techniques in NDE" at the WFNDEC on July 14. He is honored and enjoyed the meetings with big names and colleagues (he is always admiring) in this field. (updated:7/15/2012)
- Prof. Deng attended the IEEE Reliability Society Chair Congress (6/16-6/17) and served as session Chair and PHM NDE Panel Moderator/Panelist in the following IEEE PHM Conference held in Broomfield this year. (updated: 6/22/12)
- Ms. Mia Chen has been admitted as a Ph.D. student and will join LIIP this Fall 2012. (updated: 6/12/2012)
