Do not attempt to fight the future! Frank Shih

Frank has a BSME from UC Irvine, and both MSMsE and MSME from UCLA. His PhD research focuses on utilizing laser-based ultrasound (LBU) for nondestructive evaluation in carbon fiber reinforced composites. To this end, he is currently splitting his time between UCLA and Rockwell Science Center at Thousand Oaks, California.

  • Thesis: Nondestructive Evaluation of Elastic Property Degradation in Titanium Matrix Composites during Fatigue, 1995.
