A review of Faisal Khan's contribution to process monitoring

Abstract

Process monitoring is pivotal in process system engineering for abnormal situation management and ensuring process safety. This paper presents a review of Professor Khan's works on process monitoring. It examines (i) the number of publications, (ii) the type of publications, (iii) key sources, (iv) focused areas and their evolvement, and (v) the research impact by Professor Khan in process monitoring. The results suggest that journals are the primary sources he has used to disseminate research results. Over the years, his research focus evolved from detection to root cause diagnosis, fault propagation pathway analysis, and failure prognosis. Professor Khan has immensely impacted his peers, evidenced by his theoretical contributions, a higher number of recognitions by other researchers, and diversified workforce development.
