Automated laboratory instrumentation for multi-sensor testing

R&D Engineer / Graduate Research Assistant

Oct 2024 – Present

Hochschule Aalen · Aalen University, Germany

Multi-sensor condition monitoring and predictive maintenance for lubricants in industrial gearbox and hydraulic systems.

  • Built and instrumented experimental setups combining sensor channels for viscosity, particle contamination, and optical transmission/scattering over time
  • Developed machine-learning models to fuse sensor channels and estimate Remaining Useful Life (RUL)
  • Built ANN and CNN virtual sensors in Python that predict fluid properties from low-cost multi-sensor inputs; CNN outperformed LSTM and was selected as the primary model
  • Structured decision frameworks incorporating economic cost modeling
  • Authored and contributed to competitive research funding proposals with industrial partners
  • Supervise Bachelor’s and Master’s thesis projects; contributed to 5 papers as first author and co-author
