Laurent Rambault

Laurent Rambault is an Associate Professor with HDR (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches) in Automatic Control and Systems at the University of Poitiers, France. He is affiliated with the Laboratory of Sensor Application Engineering (LIAS) at both ENSIP (École Nationale Supérieure d'Ingénieurs de Poitiers) and ISAE-ENSMA. His research focuses on advanced control systems, fault detection, and signal processing applications in electrical machinery and industrial processes.

Dr. Rambault's primary research interests include sensorless control and fault detection in electrical machines, particularly induction motors and permanent magnet synchronous machines. He has developed significant expertise in tacholess order tracking methods, digital twin development for predictive maintenance, and advanced signal processing techniques for condition monitoring. His work bridges theoretical control systems with practical industrial applications across wind energy systems, industrial vacuum processes, and fluid dynamics. His research methodology often combines traditional signal processing with emerging machine learning techniques to improve diagnostic capabilities.

His recent publications (2020-2024) demonstrate a clear progression toward more sophisticated diagnostic methodologies, with increasing integration of Physics-Informed CNNs alongside traditional signal processing approaches. His work shows strong industrial relevance, particularly in predictive maintenance applications for manufacturing and renewable energy sectors. The consistent publication record across high-impact journals reflects his sustained contribution to the field of electrical machine diagnostics.

Dr. Rambault maintains active research collaborations with colleagues including Sebastien Cauet, Erik Etien, and Anas Sakout, as evidenced by his extensive co-authorship patterns. His laboratory work at LIAS focuses on developing advanced control strategies and diagnostic tools with direct industrial applications. The research group maintains strong connections with industry partners to ensure practical implementation of theoretical advances in control systems.
