Keith Brown


Old Picture of Keith

I'm a senior lecturer in Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering in the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences  at Heriot-Watt University. Where I am the Director of the Graduate School in the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences

My research interests are Intelligent Systems, Fault Diagnostics & Prognostics, Signal Processing and Autonomous for Underwater Systems. I am part of the Edinburgh Research Partnership, Joint Research Institute for Signal & Image Processing. Much of the work I do is as part of the Ocean Systems Laboratory.

Research Interests

My research interests are in Intelligent Systems and Signal Processing. I am involved in supervising research students investigating:

  • Novel Processing Techniques for Aircraft Wiring Fault Detection and Diagnosis
  • Intelligent Sensors Systems for Mobile Robots
  • Planning for Collaborative AUV Operations

In addition, I am working on funded research in several areas:

  • Intelligent Sensor Systems for Health Monitoring of Aircraft Wiring
  • InteGrail a framework VI project on fault diagnosis, prognostics and maintenance for railway systems
  • Acoustic Detection and Identification of Difficult Maritime Targets
  • Advanced Time-Frequency (T-F) Analysis And Synthesis Of Novel Biologically Inspired Signals

In particular, I have interests in multiple modelling, knowledge structuring, fault diagnostics and prognostics, bio-inspired signal processing and novel time frequency analysis and synthesis techniques.

Teaching Activity

I teach on the following courses:

  • 4th year Analogue Electronics
  • 4th year Sustainable Power Systems
  • 3rd year Digital Group Project
