Research Areas

  • Industry 4.0

    Industry 4.0 involves the ongoing automation of traditional manufacturing and industrial practices, employing modern smart technology. Large-scale machine-to-machine communication (M2M), the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are integrated to enhance automation, improve communication, and enable self-monitoring. This results in the production of smart machines capable of analyzing and diagnosing issues without human intervention.


  • Datascience (Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning)

    Data science, an interdisciplinary field, utilizes scientific methods, processes, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge and insights from both structured and unstructured data. It encompasses data mining, machine learning, and big data.



  • Smart Manufacturing

    Smart manufacturing is a comprehensive category employing computer-integrated manufacturing, high adaptability, rapid design changes, digital information technology, and a more flexible technical workforce.



  • Process Optimisation

    Process optimization is the discipline of adjusting a process to optimize a specified set of parameters without violating constraints. The primary goals are minimizing cost and maximizing throughput and efficiency, making it a crucial quantitative tool in industrial production and decision-making.



  • Digitalisation

    Digitalization is the integration of digital technologies into everyday life, processes, and business operations. In our research group, we focus on leveraging digitalization to enhance efficiency, streamline workflows, and drive innovation across various industries.
