Ye ZhishengView profile
Associate Professor
Ye Zhisheng is the Dean’s Chair and Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial Systems Engineering & Management at the National University of Singapore (NUS). His research focuses on reliability engineering, inventory control, emergency response systems, and statistical modeling. He holds a PhD in Industrial and Systems Engineering from NUS, along with a BEng in Material Science and Engineering and a BEco in Economics from Tsinghua University. His work emphasizes practical applications in mission-critical systems, predictive maintenance, and data-driven decision-making. Current research initiatives include optimal maintenance policies for manufacturing systems, degradation analysis of bearings, and federated learning approaches for battery lifecycle prediction. He has pioneered methods for integrating physics-informed neural networks into prognostics and health management (PHM) systems. Key technical contributions span advanced statistical methodologies like sieve estimation for survival data, phase-type distributions modeling, and condition-based maintenance optimization. His interdisciplinary approach bridges operations research, mechanical engineering, and computer science to address complex reliability challenges. Recent projects include resilient consensus-based power grid management and contamination source identification frameworks. Notable collaborations involve developing intelligent cross-domain fault diagnosis systems using transformer networks and advancing the Internet of Federated Things (IoFT) for distributed data analytics. His work has been applied in aerospace, telecommunication infrastructure, and medical emergency response systems.
