Research Interests
Integrated work across smart cities, manufacturing analytics, and digital transformation reveals a coherent focus on leveraging AI, data, and connected technologies to enhance urban systems, industry reliability, and organizational strategy. The publications collectively emphasize (i) the synthesis of Urban Digital Twins, IoT, AI, edge/cloud architectures, and emerging technologies (GenAI, blockchain) to support sustainable, resilient smart cities; (ii) data-driven condition monitoring and predictive maintenance for spur gearboxes using time-, frequency-, and time–frequency-domain features, robust feature selection, and AI classifiers with high accuracy; (iii) the role of happiness, well-being, and ethical governance in business and social marketing, extending AI-enabled measurement to leadership and workforce engagement; and (iv) the evaluation and standardization of digital transformation technologies and maturity models to guide cross-industry adoption. Methodologically, the set spans systematic literature reviews, empirical signal processing, machine learning model development (RF, KNN, PCA, ANOVA), sensor placement analyses, and organizational/educational frameworks. Impact centers on proposing research agendas, practical validation in industrial contexts, and guidance for policymakers and managers toward data-driven, interoperable, and human-centric digital ecosystems.
