Research Focus

Six interlocking directions, all aimed at reliable real-world diagnostics.

01

Vibration-Based Fault Diagnosis

Detecting and classifying mechanical faults in rotating machinery (bearings, gearboxes, planetary roller screws) directly from raw vibration signals using both physics-driven features and deep learning.

  • Vibration analysis
  • Spectral methods
  • VMD
  • Envelope analysis
02

Prognostics & Health Management (PHM)

Estimating Remaining Useful Life (RUL) and degradation trends of industrial equipment to enable predictive maintenance and reduce unplanned downtime.

  • RUL prediction
  • Degradation modeling
  • Condition monitoring
03

AI for Diagnostics

Applying CNN, Transformer and transfer-learning models to fault classification, with a focus on explainability and robustness across operating conditions.

  • 1D-CNN
  • Transformer
  • Transfer Learning
  • Explainable AI
04

Digital Twin & Simulation

Building physics-grounded digital twins (FEA + multibody dynamics) of mechanical systems to generate labeled fault data where real-world failure samples are scarce.

  • ANSYS
  • MSC Adams
  • Multibody
  • Sim-to-real
05

Edge Deployment

Compressing and deploying diagnostic models onto edge hardware for standalone, real-time inference at the machine level.

  • Edge AI
  • Model compression
  • Real-time inference
06

Gearbox & PRS Diagnostics

Dedicated study of fault mechanisms in gearboxes and planetary roller screws, combining analytical contact mechanics with data-driven detection.

  • Gearbox
  • Planetary Roller Screw
  • Hertzian contact
