Tyler N. Tallman's research focuses on developing 'self-sensing' materials and structures—especially carbon fiber composites embedded with conductive nanomaterials—that can detect their own damage by measuring changes in electrical properties. A major methodological focus is electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a technique for imaging internal damage from surface electrical measurements, which he combines with mathematical and machine-learning tools (like physics-informed neural networks) to solve the difficult 'inverse problem' of reconstructing damage images from data. This work is aimed at structural health monitoring applications, such as detecting cracks or damage in aerospace and engineered composite structures.

Publication output rose sharply from 2017 to a peak around 2020-2021, then gradually declined and leveled off to a more moderate but steady pace in recent years.
