Description
Yi Liu received B.S. degree in mechanical engineering from Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang, China, in 2004, and the Ph.D. degree in control theory and engineering from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, in 2009. He was an Assistant Professor from 2009 to 2011, then an Associate Professor from 2011 to 2020, both with the Institute of Process Equipment and Control Engineering, Zhejiang University of Technology, Hangzhou, China. He was a Postdoctoral Researcher with the Department of Chemical Engineering, Chung-Yuan Christian University, Chung-Li, from 2012 to 2013. Since 2020, he has been a Full Professor with Zhejiang University of Technology, Hangzhou, China. He has published more than 100 research papers at IEEE Transactions and international journals. His research interests include data intelligence methods with applications to modeling, control, and optimization of industrial processes. Prof. Liu has been serving as an Associate Editor for Quantitative InfraRed Thermography Journal and Acta Automatica Sinica..
The presence of internal defects poses a serious challenge to the structural integrity and performance of composite materials such as polymers and cultural heritage. Active infrared thermography (AIRT) is becoming increasingly attractive among many non-destructive testing techniques due to its low-cost and wide-area coverage advantages. However, thermograms often involve non-uniform...
