Diagnostic
and decision systems
for complex assets.
I'm Burak Suslu — optimisation researcher and technical founder. My PhD at Cranfield University's IVHM Centre (defended November 2025) built multi-objective frameworks for hard engineering trade-offs. Today I apply those methods through research, ventures like AcoustR, and advisory work across aerospace, industry, and applied software.
Four specialisms, one method.
Multi-Objective Optimisation
Frameworks that balance competing objectives — performance, cost, reliability, weight, risk — and surface the trade-offs decision-makers actually need to see.

Integrated Vehicle Health Management for safety-critical aerospace and industrial systems. Diagnostics, prognostics, and asset condition assessment.
Open → 03Industrial Automation
Five years founding and running an industrial-automation business — high-voltage energy distribution for state and private oil-and-gas clients. Optimisation grounded in operational reality.
Open → 04Algorithm Design
Genetic algorithms, NDCI integration, and rigorous comparative evaluation. From OEM, operator, and MRO perspectives.
Open →Research, shipped.
Where the methods leave the page and meet a real machine, a real signal, and a real customer.
AcoustR
Turning microphone signals into condition assessments — a product application of the sensor-optimisation and diagnostic-contribution methods from the thesis. Lead venture.
Read more → Prototype · sensorry.comSensorry
An applied tool for choosing what to measure on complex assets, packaging the MOSOF / NDCI workflow for engineering teams. Currently in prototype.

An early concept extending diagnostic-contribution thinking to composite-structure health management. Not yet public — included here for context only.
In developmentThree ways to work together.
Diagnostic Audit
Three-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 Framework
End-to-end engagement to develop a multi-objective optimisation framework tailored to your platform, system, or programme — drawing on the MOSOF / NDCI methods from my published research, adapted to your objectives, constraints, and decision criteria.
Technical Advisory 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. Ideal for scale-ups, OEMs, and innovation programmes.
Research, made readable.
A doctorate at Cranfield University's IVHM Centre on multi-objective sensor optimisation, with two contributions — MOSOF and NDCI — that quietly underpin the ventures and advisory work above. Three entry points, depending on how deep you want to go:
The research agenda
The thesis, in plain English
Peer-reviewed publications
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.
