Graeme West is a Professor in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde, appointed through the Chancellor's Fellowship scheme. He is an academic lead in the University’s Advanced Nuclear Research Centre (ANRC) and is currently seconded part-time to the Alan Turing Institute, where he leads the Critical Infrastructure Theme in the Data Centric Engineering Programme. His work bridges academia and industry, focusing on intelligent systems for energy and nuclear applications.
- Doctor of Philosophy, Computational Intelligence Methods for Power System Protection Design and Decision Support, University of Strathclyde (2003)
- Bachelor of Engineering, University of Strathclyde (1998)
His research interests lie at the intersection of artificial intelligence and industrial engineering, particularly in intelligent decision support for energy systems. He specializes in applying machine learning, data analytics, and image processing to nuclear asset management, with focus areas including condition monitoring, diagnostics, prognostics, and visual inspection in high-radiation environments. His work supports major nuclear operators such as EDF Energy, Bruce Power, and Sellafield.
The recent articles reflect a strong trend toward real-world AI applications in nuclear inspection, emphasizing video denoising, automated defect detection, and explainable AI systems. These works integrate domain knowledge with deep learning to enhance safety and reliability in critical infrastructure. Themes include radiation-affected imaging, predictive maintenance, and intelligent monitoring of reactor components like graphite cores and pressure tubes.
While no formal awards are listed, his leadership in high-impact projects and collaborations with national and international partners underscores his recognition in the field.
Graeme West supervises research students and leads multiple externally funded projects with organizations like EPSRC, Bruce Power, and EDF Energy. His projects focus on AI-driven inspection, nuclear analytics, and visual monitoring of reactor components. He is also actively involved in professional development, participating in workshops and conferences on AI in engineering and nuclear sustainability.
He is affiliated with the Advanced Nuclear Research Centre (ANRC) at the University of Strathclyde and contributes to the Data Centric Engineering Programme at the Alan Turing Institute. His work involves close collaboration with industry partners such as NNL, Sellafield, WideBlue, and Inspecta-hire, forming a robust research network focused on critical infrastructure resilience.
