Optimisation researcher · Technical founder

Diagnostic
& decision systems
for complex assets.

I'm Burak Suslu — optimisation researcher and technical founder. My PhD at Cranfield University's IVHM Centre built multi-objective frameworks for the hard engineering trade-offs no spreadsheet can resolve. Today I apply those methods through research, ventures including AcoustR, and advisory work across aerospace and industry.

§ 01 Approach
Most engineering decisions don't have a right answer. They have a defensible answer — one you can stand behind when cost, weight, and risk pull in different directions. — Working principle

I build the methods that produce those defensible answers. Multi-objective optimisation, sensor-network design, and diagnostic-contribution analysis — taken from peer-reviewed research and adapted to the platform, system, or programme in front of me.

The work began at Cranfield's IVHM Centre, validated on a Boeing 737-800 environmental control system, and now travels with me into ventures and client engagements. One method, three outlets: research that holds up to review, software that ships, and advice that survives contact with operations.

§ 04 Engagements

Three ways to work together.

/ 01
Diagnostic Audit3-week engagement

I evaluate your existing system, sensor network, or operational process against information-theoretic, reliability, and cost metrics. Deliverable: a prioritised report with redundancy reductions, coverage gaps, and a proposed optimal configuration.

Custom Optimisation FrameworkEnd-to-end

Develop a multi-objective optimisation framework tailored to your platform, system, or programme — drawing on the MOSOF and NDCI methods from my published research, adapted to your objectives, constraints, and decision criteria.

Technical AdvisoryMonthly retainer

Ongoing strategic input for engineering and R&D teams making complex trade-off decisions. Monthly review, on-call expertise across optimisation, IVHM, and system architecture. Built for scale-ups, OEMs, and innovation programmes.

§ 05 Research

Research, made readable.

A doctorate at Cranfield's IVHM Centre on multi-objective sensor optimisation, with two contributions — MOSOF and NDCI — that quietly underpin the ventures and advisory work.

The shortest path from a rigorous method to a decision somebody can defend on a Monday morning.

Three entry points, depending on how deep you want to go.

§ 06 Contact

Let's talk trade-offs.

If you're making a decision where the right answer depends on balancing many objectives at once — and getting it wrong is expensive — I'd like to hear about it.
