Research Interests

My research interests are in the area of modeling, diagnosis, and control of complex manufacturing processes.

  • Modeling and analysis of large complex manufacturing systems: modeling of the variation propagation in large complex manufacturing processes, especially multistage machining process, variation management and tolerance allocation, design for variation reduction.
  • Process control for productivity and quality improvement: active real-time control of manufacturing processes, integration of statistical process control with automatic process control.
  • Information technology for diagnosis of manufacturing system: model-based diagnosis and prognositics of complicated manufacturing processes using sensor fusion, feature extraction, and pattern recognition
  • Dynamic analysis and active real-time control for mechanical system: Dynamic modeling and analysis of rotating machinery, real-time active vibration control and balancing of rotating machinery during speed-varying period.
