Dale Esminger attended The Ohio State University and graduated with Bachelors degrees in both Mechanical and Electrical Engineering in 1950. He also undertook post-graduate studies at OSU between 1950 and 1953. Dale began working at Battelle Memorial Institute in 1948, while still a student at OSU, and worked there until his retirement in January 1988. During his time at Battelle he was active in research in ultrasonics. He was involved in about 1,000 different projects relating to ultrasonics, acoustics and related areas. He also holds many patents related to these projects. He was a member of the Acoustical Society of America, Ultrasonics Industry Association, and the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT).

Leonard J. Bond graduated with his PhD in Physics in 1978 from the City University London. He has experience as an academic, in industry, with national laboratories, as a consultant and expert witness. He started his research career with British Gas, who sponsored his graduate work, which considered models and experiments for ultrasonic Rayleigh wave interactions with defects. His post-doc was sponsored by the UK's Propellants, Explosives, and Rocket Motors Establishment (PERME), Westcott. He then held a succession of faculty positions at University College London (UCL), where he was a founding member of the UCL NonDestructive Evaluation Center. For his contributions to the field at UCL he was appointed Reader in Ultrasonics. He moved to the USA as a Research Professor at the University of Colorado, and Guest Researcher, NIST (Boulder). He also worked with the University of Denver, Denver Research Institute (DRI), continuing his research in various aspects of ultrasonics. He moved to the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in 1998, where he was a Laboratory Fellow. He was on a special assignment as the founding Director of the Center for Advanced Energy Studies (CAES) at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) in 2005-6. In 2007 he returned to PNNL, as a Laboratory Fellow, with a focus on ultrasound measurements in hostile environments. He joined Iowa State University (ISU) as Director of the Center for NDE (CNDE) in July 2012, where he was a Professor of both Aerospace Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. He stepped down from CNDE Director, in May 2018. At ISU he also served as Interim Director for ISU's Institute for Physical Research and Technology (IPRT), from October 2012 until June 2014. From 2018 he continued as a Professor at ISU engaged in both research and teaching, including coordinating the Minor in NDE. On July 1st 2022 he became a Professor Emeritus, Aerospace Engineering (ISU), and he continues with some research in both ultrasonics and radiography.

Dale Esminger 於1950年畢業於俄亥俄州立大學，獲得機械工程和電氣工程的學士學位。他在1950年至1953年間於俄亥俄州立大學進行研究生學習。Dale於1948年開始在巴特爾紀念研究所（Battelle Memorial Institute）工作，當時他仍是俄亥俄州立大學的學生，並在該所工作至1988年1月退休。在巴特爾的期間，他積極從事超聲波的研究，參與了約1,000個與超聲波、聲學及相關領域的不同項目，並持有許多與這些項目相關的專利。他是美國聲學學會（Acoustical Society of America）、超聲波產業協會（Ultrasonics Industry Association）以及美國無損檢測學會（American Society for Nondestructive Testing, ASNT）的成員。

Leonard J. Bond 於1978年在倫敦城市大學獲得物理學博士學位。他在學術界、工業界、國家實驗室擔任顧問和專家證人方面擁有豐富的經驗。他的研究生涯始於英國天然氣公司（British Gas），該公司贊助了他的研究生工作，研究主題為超聲波瑞利波與缺陷的相互作用模型和實驗。他的博士後研究由英國推進劑、爆炸物和火箭發動機研究所（Propellants, Explosives, and Rocket Motors Establishment, PERME）贊助，地點在Westcott。隨後，他在倫敦大學學院（University College London, UCL）擔任多個教職，並成為UCL無損檢測中心的創始成員。因其對UCL領域的貢獻，他被任命為超聲波的講師。他以研究教授的身份移居美國，任職於科羅拉多大學（University of Colorado）及國家標準與技術研究所（NIST, Boulder）的客座研究員。他還與丹佛大學（University of Denver）及丹佛研究所（Denver Research Institute, DRI）合作，繼續在超聲波的各個方面進行研究。1998年，他轉至太平洋西北國家實驗室（Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, PNNL），擔任實驗室研究員。2005年至2006年，他在愛達荷國家實驗室（Idaho National Laboratory, INL）擔任高級能源研究中心（Center for Advanced Energy Studies, CAES）的創始主任。2007年，他回到PNNL，作為實驗室研究員，專注於惡劣環境中的超聲波測量。2012年7月，他加入愛荷華州立大學（Iowa State University, ISU），擔任無損檢測中心（Center for NDE, CNDE）主任，同時擔任航空航天工程和機械工程的教授。他於2018年5月卸任CNDE主任。在ISU，他還於2012年10月至2014年6月期間擔任ISU物理研究與技術研究所（Institute for Physical Research and Technology, IPRT）的臨時主任。自2018年起，他繼續在ISU擔任教授，從事研究和教學，包括協調無損檢測的輔修課程。2022年7月1日，他成為愛荷華州立大學航空航天工程的名譽教授，並繼續在超聲波和放射攝影方面進行一些研究。
