1) Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning-Powered Smart Aerospace Systems
The thesis/project will focus on designing novel artificial intelligence and machine learning-based algorithms to develop smart aerospace systems. Several investigations have been conducted at the AIAS laboratory in cooperation with aerospace companies and government agencies (including NASA, Canadian Space Agency, and MHICA) on the fault diagnosis, prognosis and recovery of aerospace systems. The results on aircraft/spacecraft control systems and aircraft engines are very promising for practical applications. The proposed research aims to further enhance the performance of these algorithms using artificial intelligence, machine learning and digital twins based methodologies for real-time fault diagnosis, prognosis and recovery applications.
2) Cutting-Edge Internet-of-Things (IoT) Devices for Smart Aerospace Systems
In recent years, significant advancements have been made in the area of smart systems, enabled by the advent of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanotechnologies. These technologies have led to the miniaturization of sensors and electronic components and the development of wireless sensors and sensor networks. Professor Krishna Kumar's AIAS Laboratory has made substantial progress in this field, focusing on sensing/actuation, prediction, and control. The overall goal of the proposed research is to design and develop an IoT device, with three main objectives. Objective 1: Definition of Engineering Domain: This objective involves comprehensively analyzing the problem domain (aerospace) encountered when designing smart systems. It aims to consolidate knowledge about the emerging field of smart systems and enable future innovation. Dr. Kumar’s research on miniature wireless systems will provide the foundation for this work. Objective 2: Development of IoT Device: This objective focuses on creating a novel IoT device with an emphasis on low power consumption, high performance, and fault tolerance. Objective 3: User Graphical Interface: This objective aims to develop a graphical user interface for data visualization and analysis.
