Award criteria
Purpose: This prestigious award inaugurated in 1981 commemorates the late E J Grimwade MC HonFInstNDT, a major pioneering figure in the NDT world. The medal is awarded annually for the best paper by an Institute member to appear in the Institute’s journal in the preceding year.
Details of the award: The best paper is selected from articles published by Institute members in Insight during the preceding year.
Eligibility: To be eligible, the article must be contributed by an Institute member.
Frequency: The prize will be awarded annually and will only be issued if suitable nominations are received.
Nomination arrangements: Articles published by a member of the Institute are selected from Insight and circulated to a judging panel for consideration. The judging panel will comprise the NDT Sub-Committee Chair and the Honorary Technical Editor, plus two other NDT members (nominated by the NDT Sub-Committee Chair).
Awarding arrangements: A medal will be presented to the author who is an Institute member; all authors will receive a certificate and Institute pin.
Publicity: The award will be fully reported in Institute publications and the Secretariat will issue details in a press release to the technical and engineering institutional press.
Presentation: The medal and certificate will be awarded at the NDT Annual Conference, though another appropriate Institute event may be chosen if necessary.
Committee: NDT Sub-Committee.
Winners
2022 winners: Ross Hanna, Dr Mark Sutcliffe, Professor Peter Charlton and Dr Stephen Mo
seyThe recipients of the John Grimwade Medal for 2022 are Ross Hanna, Dr Mark Sutcliffe, Professor Peter Charlton and Dr Stephen Mosey for their paper, titled: ‘Efficient algebraic image reconstruction technique for computed tomography’, which was published in Insight, Vol 64, No 6, pp 326-333, June 2022
(DOI: 10.1784/insi.2022.64.6.326).
Ross Hanna is currently a robotics engineer at TWI Technology Centre (Wales), developing systems and technologies for automated deployment of non-destructive testing (NDT). Having previously worked as a software tester and a software engineer, he is currently in
the submission phase of his PhD in algebraic reconstruction methods for complex-geometry components at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. His research interests include simulation and modelling, image processing and computer graphics.Dr Mark Sutcliffe is a consultant (software) with TWI, specialising in the design, integration and delivery of NDT software solutions and algorithm development, including full matrix capture (FMC) and virtual source aperture (VSA). With over 20 years of industrial experience, in 2015 he gained a doctorate in NDT (time-critical synthetic transmit aperture ultrasound imaging) with the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. Mark has developed and delivered NDT inspection systems for use in nuclear, aerospace and space exploration.
Professor Peter Charlton is currently Professor in Applied NDT at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. He has over 30 years of industrial and academic experience in the research and development of advanced automated electromagnetic and ultrasonic NDT imaging systems for the petrochemical, power generation and aerospace industries. In 1995, he was awarded his PhD, titled: ‘A theoretical and experimental study of the magnetic flux leakage method for the analysis of corrosion defects in carbon steel plate’. He is responsible for engagement with key industrial partners and both PhD and MSc research supervision within the School of Engineering.
Dr Stephen Mosey is a senior lecturer in the School of Applied Computing at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. He has over 20 years’ industrial and academic experience in the developm
ent of advanced ultrasonic imaging equipment for NDT inspection applications in oil & gas, nuclear, aerospace, manufacturing and rail. In 2013, he gained a doctorate in signal and image processing for NDT (resolution enhancement of B-mode ultrasound images) with the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.Past winners:
