Production and Manufacturing Engineering

Overview

Intelligent monitoring and asset management

The Intelligent Monitoring and Asset Management Research Centre focuses on monitoring the condition of machines and systems; diagnosis and prognosis methods and novel asset management. The Centre’s research goals are to maximize systems availability, prevent un-planned shutdowns, optimize maintenance services, reduce overall operating costs and increase returns on investment.

Core areas of expertise include:

• Machine condition monitoring
• Machine fault diagnosis and prognosis
• Advanced signal processing for machine applications
• Machinery asset management

A member of staff, expert in the chosen field, is directly responsible for guiding and supporting your research programme. As a research student in the  Production and Manufacturing Engineering at  London South Bank University  you'll become part of our thriving academic community.

A PhD, by definition, is an original contribution to knowledge. A research degree is different from a taught course. Research students are expected to self-direct their learning with support from a supervisory team.
