Machine Learning for Physical Systems

Machine learning for physical systems integrates machine learning with engineering mathematics, to optimise system design, operation, and maintenance. Research at the University of Glasgow is developing statistical tools to fuse data-driven models with process understanding, to better represent systems in operation, from bridges to wind turbines.

  • Structure constrained or informed machine learning
  • Experimental design and active learning
  • Condition and performance monitoring
