In collaboration with Rolls-Royce Aerospace, I am researching the applicability of machine learning in safety critical maintenance. I am working on a computer vision system to aid engineers in the borescope inspection process of internal engine components. By framing the problem as anomaly detection, I have been able make considerable progress.
As aerospace engineering is a highly regulated and safety critical industry, this project requires that the AI developed is accountable, responsible, and transparent. There is a focus on understanding “why” an AI does what is does, what guarantees can be made of an AI’s worst-case performance, and how this can be conveyed to regulators.
I am working with data scientists from Rolls-Royce and with experts within the aerospace industry, who can provide world-leading insight into how innovations in machine learning, data science and related technologies can be used in this domain.
I am generally interested in all things data science and AI. I have a particular focus on computer vision and applied machine learning.
