Course summary
This PhD project will focus on developing, evaluating, and demonstrating advanced data analytics solutions to a big data problem from aerospace or manufacturing system to uncover hidden patens, unknown correlation, and other useful information for diagnosis and prognosis solutions which leads to enhance reliability, maintainability and readiness of the selected system. Big Data analytics has attracted intense interest from both academia and industry recently for its attempt to extract more useful information and knowledge from Big Data. Big Data analytics will help to develop more advance diagnosis and prognosis technologies, and, consequently, improve maintenance decision making. Currently, machine leaning exists as the most promising technologies of big data analytics in industrial problems. The student will have the opportunity to work with experts in the data analytics and condition monitoring field, as well as being part of our strong and dynamic research centre at Cranfield University.
