Marcos Orchard

Dr. Marcos E. Orchard is Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering at Universidad de Chile, Associate Researcher at the Center of Energy (Universidad de Chile), and Associate Researcher at the Advanced Center for Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María). His current research interests are the design, implementation and testing of real-time frameworks for fault diagnosis and failure prognosis, with applications to battery management systems, electromobility, mining industry, finance, and crime risk prediction. His fields of expertise include statistical process monitoring, parametric/non-parametric modeling, and system identification. His research work at the Georgia Institute of Technology was the foundation of novel real-time fault diagnosis and failure prognosis approaches based on particle filtering algorithms. He received his Ph.D. and M.S. degrees from The Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, in 2005 and 2007, respectively. He received his B.S. degree (1999) and a Civil Industrial Engineering degree with Electrical Major (2001) from Catholic University of Chile. Dr. Orchard is an internationally recognized expert in the field of fault diagnosis and prognosis, Bayesian filtering in dynamic non-linear systems, stochastic processes and sequential Monte Carlo methods.
