Jon Stammers

Dr Jon Stammers serves as the Senior Theme Lead for Data, Connectivity and AI within the Integrated Manufacturing Group at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), University of Sheffield. He joined the AMRC in 2013, initially working in the Machining Group's Process Monitoring and Control team, and has since taken on leadership of the Data, Connectivity and AI theme. Additionally, he has lectured at the AMRC Training Centre and is an active member of the Centre for Machine Intelligence and the IET Manufacturing Technical Network.

Stammers holds an MEng and PhD in Electronic Engineering. His doctoral research investigated automated identification of urban and natural audio signals using time-domain feature extraction and ensemble neural network classifiers.

His primary research interests focus on leveraging data from connected manufacturing processes to enable Smart Factories. This includes developing open-source data architectures, data visualization techniques, computer vision applications, AI and machine learning algorithms, data security measures, and data science methodologies. He is particularly interested in how AI can serve as a practical tool to enhance daily manufacturing operations and the broader societal impacts of technology adoption in industrial settings.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent emphasis on machine tool health monitoring, anomaly detection in machining processes, and the integration of AI for predictive maintenance. His work bridges theoretical advancements in signal processing and machine learning with practical industrial applications, contributing to more efficient and reliable manufacturing systems.
