About Lisa

Professor Lisa Jackson is Head of the Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering and Professor of Risk and Reliability at Loughborough University in the Engineering faculty. She obtained her PhD from Loughborough University in 2000, with a thesis titled 'Variable Orderings for Binary Decision Diagrams'. Following her doctorate, she served as a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Mathematical Sciences. In 2004, she joined the academic staff in the Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering, was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2010, and elevated to Chair in Risk and Reliability in 2018.

Her research focuses on reliability of engineering systems, system safety, and enhanced service provision. This includes developing and applying reliability methods for enhanced performance, automated reliability modelling techniques such as Petri Nets from system designs, improving reliability of PEM fuel cells using fault trees, bond graphs, and Petri Nets, and reliability modelling for automated guided vehicles. Further interests encompass fault diagnostics and prognosis for aircraft fuel systems and fuel cells via model-based, data-based, and knowledge-based approaches, alongside optimisation of manufacturing processes across the lifecycle, enhanced emergency service provision through scheduling and dynamic positioning, risk assessment in custodial processes, and healthcare delivery in the home using embedded technologies. Key publications include 'Impact of condition monitoring on the maintenance and economic viability of offshore wind turbines' by Yan, Dunnett, and Jackson (2023, Reliability Engineering & System Safety); 'A novel densely connected neural network for proton exchange membrane fuel cell fault diagnosis' by Liu et al. (2022, International Journal of Hydrogen Energy); 'Model-based research for aiding decision-making during the design and operation of multi-load automated guided vehicle systems' by Yan, Dunnett, and Jackson (2021, Reliability Engineering & System Safety); and 'Dynamic reliability assessment of PEM fuel cell systems' by Vasilyev, Andrews, Dunnett, and Jackson (2021, Reliability Engineering & System Safety). Professor Jackson holds the role of Admissions Tutor for Aeronautical and Automotive undergraduate courses and serves as the University lead for the CDT in Fuel Cells and their Fuels. She is a member of the Editorial Board of the IMechE Journal of Risk and Reliability Engineering (Part O) and reviews for journals including Reliability Engineering and System Safety, Quality and Reliability Engineering International, Fuel Cells, and Journal of Power Sources.
