Event

The 5th International Workshop on Laser-Ultrasound for Metals (LUS4Metals) will be held at CentraleSupélec (Université Paris-Saclay, in the southern suburbs of Paris, France) from May 5 to 6, 2022, in following on from previous workshops held at the University of British Columbia (Canada, 1st and 2nd), the metals research institute Swerim (former Swerea Kimab, Sweden, 3rd), and RECENDT in Linz (Austria, 4th). This event will once again open to all interested parties from academia and industry. The small to medium size of the workshop will allow dynamic and fruitful exchanges between the attending researchers and industrial partners from all over the world around topics of Laser-ultrasound testing, modeling and simulation, from fundamental aspects to challenging engineering applications. The workshop language will be English.
