Andrew K.S. Jardine is the Founding Director of the Centre for Maintenance Optimization and Reliability Engineering (C-MORE) at the University of Toronto where the focus is on real-world research in engineering asset management in the areas of condition-based maintenance, spares management, protective devices, maintenance and repair contracts, and failure finding intervals for protective devices. Details can be found at www.mie.utoronto.ca/cmore Dr. Jardine is also Professor Emeritus in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto, and Adjunct Professor at Ryerson University, Toronto. Professor Jardine studied at the Royal College of Science and Technology, Scotland and obtained his undergraduate and Master’s degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Strathclyde, Scotland. He was awarded his PhD in Engineering Production by the University of Birmingham, England. Professor Jardine wrote the book, ＂Maintenance, Replacement and Reliability＂, first published in 1973 and now in its 6th printing. He is the co-editor with J.D. Campbell of the 2001 published book ＂Maintenance Excellence: Optimizing Equipment Life Cycle Decisions＂. He co-authored with Dr. A. H. C. Tsang the book ＂Maintenance, Replacement & Reliability: Theory and Applications＂,2nd Edition published by CRC Press, 2013. Professor Jardine co-edited with John D Campbell and J. McGlynn ＂Asset Management Excellence: Optimizing Life Cycle Decisions＂ 2nd Edition, published by CRC Press, 2011.
Albert Tsang is former Principal Lecturer of the Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Dr. Tsang studied at the University of Hong Kong and graduated with a BSc degree in Mechanical Engineering with first class honours. He later obtained his MSc degree in Industrial Engineering awarded by the same university. He received his MASc and PhD from the University of Toronto, and he is a registered engineer with working experience in the manufacturing industry covering functions such as industrial engineering, quality assurance, and project management. Dr. Tsang has published three books in the discipline of engineering asset management, namely Maintenance, Replacement, and Reliability: Theory & Applications, Maintenance Performance Management in Capital Intensive Organizations: Key to Optimizing Management of Physical Infrastructure Assets, and Reliability-Centred Maintenance: A Key to Maintenance Excellence. He is also the author of ＂WeibullSoft＂, a computer-aided self learning package on Weibull analysis.
Sharareh Taghipour joined the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Ryerson University in August 2012. Prior her appointment to the University’s faculty, she worked as a postdoctoral fellow for about a year at the Centre for Maintenance Optimization and Reliability Engineering (C-MORE) at the University of Toronto. She obtained her PhD in Industrial Engineering from the University of Toronto, and received her BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science and her MASc in Industrial Engineering, both from Sharif University of Technology, Iran. The focus of Dr. Taghipour’s research has been on physical asset management, and she is currently Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Physical Asset Management at Ryerson University. Dr. Taghipour has received numerous awards, including Ryerson University Early Research Career Excellence Award (2017), American Society for Quality (ASQ)-Reliability Division (RD) Best Paper Award (2016), Ryerson Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science Scholarly Research and Creative Activity (SRC) Award (2015), The Best Student Paper Award of the Tom Fagan Reliability & Maintainability Symposium (2011), The Best Student Paper Award of the American College of Clinical Engineering (2010), and Asset Management Council Postgraduate Research Award (2010) from Australia.
