Ragnar Eggertsson

Ragnar Eggertsson is a doctoral candidate at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). He researches smart and efficient maintenance strategies for capital goods, about which limited prognostics and diagnostics data are retrieved via sensors. By knowing the powers and limitations of modern technology, maintenance planning can be improved, leading to more effective use of capital goods and human capital.

In addition to maintenance, he also researches technology selection. An example of a technology selection problem is the choice of a power producer to install either a natural gas-fired power plant or a wind farm. This choice depends on factors such as the electricity price, natural gas price, and wind speeds at the designated sites.
