ASNT Research Symposium

Advancing Innovation in Nondestructive Evaluation

Every year, the ASNT Research Symposium brings together the people pushing NDE forward. Researchers, educators, students, and practitioners arrive from around the world to exchange ideas, showcase their latest findings, and explore emerging technologies that are redefining the field.

This year's theme, Collaboration: Connecting Minds, Advancing Possibilities, captures both the spirit of the Symposium and the future of NDE. The next breakthroughs in NDE won’t come from working alone. They require meaningful partnerships among researchers and practitioners from related disciplines, including data science, aerospace, materials engineering, and more.

Join us for technical presentations, interactive poster sessions, and conversations that go beyond the podium and focus on real challenges, real opportunities, and the collective work of shaping what’s next.

The ASNT Research Symposium takes place alongside the MFPT Annual Conference, bringing two complementary events together at one location. Attendees may attend sessions from both programs.

**Presentation by our colleague Dr. Sarah Fischer in the Key Session on: “Cognitive Sensor and Data Systems for NDE: From Classical Applications to New Fields in the Area of Acoustics” (July 22, 1:30 p.m.)**
