About Us

Our mission is to provide the highest level of Education and innovative Research on intelligent Stochastic Mechanical, Aeronautical, Industrial and related systems that operate under significant levels of Uncertainty.

At the core of our work lies the extraction of important information from measured stochastic signals using Statistical Times Series Analysis, Statistical Learning, Signal Processing, and System Identification tools.

This information is used within a Mechatronics, Mechanical, and Aeronautical Systems framework for a variety of important applications in Structural Systems, Intelligent Systems, Vehicular Systems (automotive/railway), Aeronautical Systems, Energy Systems (including Renewable Energy), Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) Systems, Sensing Systems, Predictive Maintenance Systems, and more.

Our approach is problem-driven and interdisciplinary promoting cross-fertilization of ideas from many different traditional disciplines. It is also striking a healthy balance between Theory and Practical Engineering Applications.

The Lab was initiated as a Research Group at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, MI, USA, in 1986 under the leadership of Prof. S.D. Fassois. In 1993 it was re-organized at the University of Patras, Greece. It has been operating under its current official Lab status since 2004.

Our graduates - both at the M.Sc. and Ph.D. levels - hold important positions in Industry and Academia, in Greece, Europe, and the Americas.

The Lab has a long history and active collaborations with Labs and Industries in North America, Europe, and Asia. It has participated in numerous European Commission sponsored projects, as well as many bilateral, national, and other industrial projects.
