Modeling Remaining Useful Life Dynamics in Reliability Engineering - Dersin, Pierre

. .

Résumé :
Modeling Remaining Useful Life Dynamics in Reliability Engineering applies traditional reliability engineering methods to Prognostics and Health Management (PHM), looking at Remaining Useful Life (RUL) and predictive maintenance to enable engineers to effectively and safely predict machinery lifespan....

Biographie:

Pierre Dersin graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering after receiving a Master's degree in Operations Research also from MIT. He also holds math & E.E.degrees from Universit? Libre de Bruxelles ( Belgium).

Since 2019, he has been Adjunct Professor at Lule? University of Technology (Sweden) in the Operations & Maintenance Engineering Division.

In January 2022, he founded a small consulting company, Eumetry sas, in Louveciennes, France, in the fields of RAMS, PHM and AI, just after retiring from ALSTOM where he had spent more than 30 years.

With Alstom, he was RAM (Reliability-Availability-Maintainability) Director from 2007 to 2021 and founded the RAM Center of Excellence.In 2015, he launched the predictive maintenance activity and became PHM (Prognostics & Health Management) Director of ALSTOM Digital Mobility, and then ALSTOM Digital & Integrated Systems, St-Ouen, France.

Prior to joining Alstom, he worked in the USA on the reliability of large electric power networks, as part of the Large Scale System Effectiveness Analysis Program sponsored by the US Department of Energy, from MIT and Systems Control, Inc, and later, with FABRICOM (Suez Group), on fault detection and diagnostics in industrial systems.

He has contributed a number of communications and publications in scientific conferences and journals in the fields of RAMS, PHM, AI, automatic control and electric power systems (including Engineering Applications of AI, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus & Systems, ESREL, RAMS Symposia, French Lambda-Mu Symposia, the 2012 IEEE-PHM Conference, the 2014 European Conference of the PHM Society ( keynote speaker) and WSC 2013).

He serves on the IEEE Reliability Society AdCom and the IEE Digital Reality Initiative,and chairs the IEEE Reliability Society Technical Committee on Systems of Systems. He is a contributor of four chapters in the Handbook of RAMS in Railways: Theory & Practice (CRC Press, Taylor & Francis),2018, including a chapter on PHM in Railways '(Ch.6). In January 2020, he was awarded the Alan 0. Plait Award for the best tutorial at the RAMS conference, Designing for Availability in Systems, and Systems of Systems.

His main research interests focus on the confluence between RAMS and PHM, as well as complex systems resilience and asset management.
