lyzer. Dr. Maev has built transducers into robotic equipment for welding, adhesive bonding and other assembly- line manufacturing processes.
Dr. Maev, a member of the Acoustical Society of America, has won many awards for his innovations, research discoveries and inventions. He was awarded the Pioneer Award by American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine in 1988 and 1989, the Centenary Ernst Abbe Medal from the World Microscopical Society, Letter of Recognition for Research Excellence from the Deputy
Nuclear Physics from Moscow Physical Engineering Institute in 1970, and a Ph.D. in Photosemiconductor Physics from the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1973. In 1997 he established the Centre for Imaging Research and Advanced Material Characterization at the University of Windsor. Dr. Maev developed a new generation of acoustic microscopes including a portable multi-eyed acoustic microscope lens system for material and biomaterial research applications and a 2D matrix array hand-held ultrasonic NDE ana-
