Dr. Ilya Kolmanovsky, Ford Motor Company
Bio
Dr. Ilya V. Kolmanovsky received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in
aerospace engineering, and the M.A. degree in mathematics from
the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1993, 1995, and 1995,
respectively. He is presently a Technical Leader in Powertrain
Control at Ford Motor Company in Dearborn, Michigan, and he also
holds an Adjunct Research Scientist appointment with the University
of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Dr. Kolmanovsky has published over 200
refereed journal and conference articles on a broad spectrum of
topics in control theory, and on a variety of automotive and aerospace
control applications. At Ford, he developed and led the development
of powertrain controls for advanced gasoline and diesel engines to
improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions. He is named as an
inventor on over 70 United States patents.
Dr. Kolmanovsky has served as an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions
on Control Systems Technology, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control,
of IFAC Journal Automatica and of International Journal of Autonomous
Vehicle Systems. He has served on Oragnizational and Program Committees
of many major CSS conferences. He has been a
recipient of several awards, including Donald P. Eckman Award
of American Automatic Control Council and of IEEE Transactions
on Control Systems Technology Outstanding Paper Award.
Dr. Kolmanovsky is a Fellow of IEEE and is a member of
IEEE Control Systems Society Board of Governors.
Abstract
The lecture will provide an introductory overview
of several selected topics in automotive engine diagnostics,
based on published literature. The topics covered will
include misfire monitoring, Three Way Catalyst monitoring,
exhaust air fuel ratio sensor monitoring and torque monitoring
for gasoline engine applications. The nature of problems and
challenges in diesel aftertreatment diagnostics and new frontiers
in “driver monitoring” will be touched upon. Whenever appropriate,
the presenter will also comment on connection of the presented
material with his past and on-going research.
