The conference paper entitled "Pulse-Echo and Pitch-Catch: Ultrasonic C-Scan of Adhesively Bonded Single Lap-joints" has been honored with the prestigious Student Best Paper Award (1st Place) at the IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC) 2023 held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from May 22nd to 25th, 2023.

The authors of this work are Mohsen Barzegar, Dario Pasadas, Artur Ribeiro, and Helena Ramos. This research project was conducted as part of Mohsen Barzegar Ph.D. studies. It received support from the IT under the GW4SHM project, funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Program with the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant number 860104.

The paper focuses on a comparative analysis of two primary ultrasonic-based nondestructive testing methods: pulse-echo and pitch-catch. It investigates various aspects such as measurement setup, signal processing, and image quality to gain insights and assess their effectiveness. Receiving this award recognizes the dedication and expertise demonstrated by our team. We are truly honored to have our work acknowledged in the IT newsletter.

The I2MTC is the flagship conference of the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society and is dedicated to advances in measurement methodologies, measurement systems, instrumentation, and sensors in all areas of science and technology.
