José R. Celaya

Bio

I am a staff researcher at the Prognostics Center of Excellence and at the Diagnostics and Prognostics Group in the Intelligent Systems Division at NASA Ames Research Center. I work in the area of Prognostics and Health Management with a strong emphasis in Prognostics of Electronic Systems, Uncertainty Management for Prognostics and Post-prognostics optimization.
