On September 17, 2020, the “Innovation Base of Earthquake Engineering Comprehensive Simulation” held the 24th “Cloud Report” and invited Engineer Mario Sorgente from Optics11, Netherlands, to present a report named “Research on the application of Optical Acoustic Emission Sensing”.
This report was hosted by Associate Prof. Jie Xu, School of Civil Engineering, and he delivered a welcome speech.
In the report, Engineer Mario Sorgente focused on the acoustic emission sensing technology developed and patented by Optics11 with an overview on the system, the technology and the optical value proposition. Then he gave an overview on the Acoustic Emission principles and how the optical sensors are a good fit for this market will be presented.
The audience at the meeting had a deeper understanding of this project. After the report, Engineer Mario Sorgente and the audience conducted an online discussion on related issues and took a group photo.
This “Cloud Report” attracted a lot of teachers and students from Tianjin University. They all responded enthusiastically to the report.

Engineer Mario Sorgente:
Mario Sorgente received his Bachelor’s degree in electronics with a minor in aeronautics from Electronic department - Politecnico di Milano (2016). He received the Master’s degree in Photonics and Nano-Optics from Physics department - Politecnico di Milano (2018).
He started at Optics11 at the beginning 2019 as Application Engineer as optical sensor expert, to test from a technical point of view the unique patented optical sensors and interrogator. He is currently working as Technical Sales Engineer at Optics11 having a commercial and technical insight on the products, in particular on the optical acoustic emission system OptimAE, that supported in building/testing and commercialize. He focuses on finding solution to monitor dynamics change for NDT and SHM measures in harsh environment conditions. He published white-papers to compare the nature of optical sensors to the electrical ones in collaboration with TWI and CETIM. He is currently involved in COST association as author contributor for the paper “State of the art of SHM damage detection systems”.
