Research articles in statistical sciences, quality control, and process monitoring.
I developed an innovative statistical quality control method for detecting shape defects in complex geometries obtained via additive manufacturing. I introduced a novel nonparametric control chart based on kurtosis analysis which provides superior defect detection for 3D-printed objects compared to existing approaches. A paper detailing the methodology has been submitted for review.
I designed a novel stochastic optimization algorithm with stochastic constraints, aimed at optimizing control chart tuning parameters with greater efficiency compared to traditional numerical methods. This innovative approach has been published in the Journal of Quality Technology.
Journal article
I developed a modified bisection algorithm for computing control limits in complex settings where standard methods are inefficient. The approach removes the need for a predefined search range and scales efficiently to multi-chart scenarios. The method has been published in Statistics and Computing.
Journal article
I developed a general methodology to monitor processes involving mixed-type data (continuous, ordinal, categorical), common in real-world applications. The method enables effective sequential monitoring under serial correlation and has been published in the Journal of Quality Technology.
Journal article
I formalized the theoretical behavior of parameter learning schemes in relation to outlier detection performance in control charts. This work enabled the generalization of alternative parameter learning methods, leading to a more efficient and accurate detection scheme compared to traditional approaches. This work has been published in Quality Engineering.
Journal articleOpen-source software packages and tools for statistical computing and data analysis.
I developed a Julia package for real-time statistical process monitoring, integrating advanced algorithms and control charts to handle complex data types, such as sequential data, functional data, and structured observations. A paper that accompanies the package has been published in the Journal of Statistical Software.
