Areas of Research of Expertise
1. Computational Intelligence
Computational Intelligence uses natural-inspired methods to solve complex problems. Key techniques include:
Neural Networks: Models inspired by the brain for pattern recognition.
2. System Modeling and Optimization
System Modeling and Optimization create models of real-world systems and find the best solutions. Key techniques include:
Modeling: Describing and analyzing systems.
Optimization: Finding the best solution using mathematical methods (e.g., linear programming).
Multi-objective Optimization: Optimizing several goals at once.
3. Soft Sensing
Soft Sensing estimates variables that are hard to measure directly using available data. Key methods include:
Data Fusion: Combining data from multiple sensors for better accuracy.
Mathematical Modeling: Using models like neural networks to estimate unmeasurable variables.
4. Fault Diagnosis
Fault Diagnosis detects and locates problems in a system. Key methods include:
Condition Monitoring: Continuously monitoring system states with sensors.
Model-based Diagnosis: Comparing real data with expected values to detect faults.
Data-driven Diagnosis: Using machine learning to identify faults based on data patterns.
5. Machine Learning
Machine Learning enables systems to learn from data and make decisions. Key types include:
Supervised Learning: Learning from labeled data for prediction (e.g., decision trees).
Unsupervised Learning: Finding patterns in unlabeled data (e.g., clustering).
Deep Learning: Using complex neural networks for tasks like image and speech recognition.
These areas are often combined to solve complex problems, especially in automation and intelligent systems.
