My current doctoral research focuses on the intelligent optimization of SCADA systems through the integration of AI agents for predictive monitoring and data analysis in manufacturing environments.
The project combines advanced control engineering, machine learning, and cloud integration (Oracle Cloud Manufacturing) to enhance process reliability, traceability, and operational efficiency within regulated industries such as medical device production.
Predictive Monitoring
Integration of AI-driven models into SCADA architectures to detect anomalies and predict equipment failures in real time.
AI Agents for Industrial Systems
Development of autonomous agents capable of analyzing production data, suggesting corrective actions, and optimizing workflows.
Data Integration & Visualization
Design of pipelines for data acquisition, cleaning, and visualization through Python, SQL, and Manufacturing APIs.
Compliance & Validation
Research aligned with FDA, ISO 13485 to ensure regulatory and technical compliance in smart manufacturing.
