Optimisation
for systems
that cannot fail.
I'm Burak Suslu — researcher and consultant in optimisation for aerospace and industry. My PhD at Cranfield University's IVHM Centre built multi-objective frameworks for complex engineering decisions; I now apply those methods across sensors, systems, processes, and operations wherever the answer must balance many objectives at once.
Four specialisms, one method.
Multi-Objective Optimisation
Frameworks that balance competing objectives — performance, cost, reliability, weight, risk — and surface the trade-offs decision-makers actually need to see.
Open → 02IVHM & System Architecture
Integrated Vehicle Health Management for safety-critical aerospace and industrial systems. Diagnostics, prognostics, and asset condition assessment.
Open → 03Industrial Automation
Eight years delivering high-voltage energy distribution and automation for state and private oil-and-gas clients. Optimisation grounded in operational reality.
Open → 04Algorithm Design
Genetic algorithms, NDCI integration, and rigorous comparative evaluation. From OEM, operator, and MRO perspectives.
Open →Three ways to work together.
Diagnostic Audit
Three-week engagement. I evaluate your existing system, sensor network, or operational process against information-theoretic, reliability, and cost metrics. Deliverable: a prioritised report with redundancy reductions, coverage gaps, and a proposed optimal configuration.
Custom Optimisation Framework
End-to-end engagement to develop a multi-objective optimisation framework tailored to your platform, system, or programme — drawing on the MOSOF / NDCI methods from my published research, adapted to your objectives, constraints, and decision criteria.
Technical Advisory Retainer
Ongoing strategic input for engineering and R&D teams making complex trade-off decisions. Monthly review, on-call expertise across optimisation, IVHM, and system architecture. Ideal for scale-ups, OEMs, and innovation programmes.

Let's talk trade-offs.
If you're making a decision where the right answer depends on balancing many objectives at once — and getting it wrong is expensive — I'd like to hear about it.
