Markus Timusk

Markus Timusk is a Full Professor at the Bharti School of Engineering & Computation, Laurentian University. He holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Queen's University, a MESc in Engineering Science from Western University, and a BESc in Mechanical and Materials Engineering from Western University. He has held key administrative roles including Director of the Bharti School of Engineering, Co-op Program Coordinator, and Mechanical Engineering Program Coordinator.

His research focuses on industrial machinery reliability with emphasis on:

• Advanced condition monitoring techniques for mining equipment
• Fault detection in rotating machinery using vibration/acoustic analysis
• Dynamic modeling of gear systems under defects
• Machine learning applications for predictive maintenance
• Instrumentation development for real-time diagnostics

Recent publication trends (2011-2020) demonstrate a consistent focus on gear dynamics, bearing fault detection, and signal processing innovations for industrial applications. His work frequently addresses challenges in variable-load environments and incorporates novel approaches like wavelet analysis and neural networks.

Administrative leadership includes directing engineering programs and developing industry-academic partnerships through co-op initiatives.
