2017 winner: Professor Ling Wang
Sponsor: PCN Working Groups
The COMADIT Prize for 2017 is awarded to
Professor Ling Wang, in recognition of her outstanding research record
in sensor and signal processing for condition monitoring, especially for
tribological systems such as bearings, engines, lubrication and wear.
Ling
Wang is currently Professor of Tribo-Sensing at the National Centre for
Advanced Tribology (nCATS) at the University of Southampton. She has
over 20 years’ research experience in sensing and condition monitoring
technologies, especially for tribological applications.
Ling
has published over 100 research papers and has an £8 million research
grant portfolio from UK RCs, the EU and industry. She currently leads an
EU Clean Sky programme, ‘Integrated Intelligent Bearing Systems for
Ultra High Propulsion Efficiency Ground Test Demo’, where smart bearings
for aero-engines are being developed.
Ling
is Head of nCATS and Chair of Monitoring of Engineered and Natural
Systems Using Sensors (MENSUS), a University Strategic Research Group at
the University of Southampton. She is also a Fellow of the British
Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT) and a Chartered Engineer.

The CM Innovation Award
The CM Innovation Award recognises a significant contribution to technology innovation, technology transfer or technology strategy in the field of CM.
Details of award: A certificate, £250 cash and an invitation to
the annual CM conference dinner with free registration for the day and
one night's accommodation for either the individual winner or, in the
case of a group winner, a nominated representative.
Eligibility: Nominees can be individuals or groups who have
made a significant contribution to CM technology through R&D
technology transfer into industry or who have developed a strategy that
has led to technology development and exploitation.
Nomination arrangements: Members of the CM Technical Committee will be invited to submit nominations on an annual basis.
Committee responsible: CM Technical Committee.
2017 winner: Dr Ruhul Amin
The CM Innovation Award for 2017 is awarded to Dr Ruhul Amin MRes EngD MInstNDT.
Dr
Ruhul Amin is currently Innovation Manager within Skanska UK’s central
digitalisation team. He has extensive experience in developing,
deploying and managing real-world big data and Internet of Things (IoT)
solutions and projects within public and private sectors.
Ruhul
has a Master’s degree in research and also an engineering doctorate from
University College London. His doctoral level research specialism of
virtual environment imaging and visualisation for condition monitoring
of critical mechanical equipment in the built environment has been
successfully implemented within facilities management to save money and
reduce risk, as well as to optimise maintenance and asset life.
The CM Awards are normally presented at the CM Annual Conference.
