What\u2019s your research about, in a sentence?<\/strong><\/p>

Sudeekshna is building a train-based monitoring system that uses vibration signals to detect rail defects, turning every train ride into a smart inspection tool for safer, more efficient metro infrastructure. \u201cIf tracks could talk, I\u2019m learning how to listen.\u201d<\/p>

What inspired this research?<\/strong><\/p>

Rail engineering captured Sudeekshna\u2019s interest during her MSc studies at TUM Asia and deepened during an internship and thesis on the same topic. Her fascination with transportation systems and drive to improve infrastructure through innovation made a PhD in this area the natural next step.<\/p>

Real-world impact<\/strong><\/p>

Urban rail faces mounting pressure: run safely, run often, and don\u2019t break the bank. Sudeekshna\u2019s predictive maintenance framework helps metro operators identify hidden faults early, avoiding breakdowns, minimising downtime, and making better, data-driven decisions.<\/p>

What\u2019s next after the PhD?<\/strong><\/p>

Aiming to become a professor, Sudeekshna sees teaching not just as instruction but as a shared learning journey. She hopes to create classrooms that inspire, innovate, and connect disciplines to real-world impact.<\/p>

Sudee<\/span>\u00a0graduated from TUM’s Master of Science in Rail, Transport and Logistics. Learn more about her \u6b64\u5904<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
