Dr Lilia Potseluyko

Research Interests

Lilia’s research interests include the generation of virtual reality environments via 2D Images, generative and data-driven design, sensor data fusion and visualisation, genetic algorithms for decision making, human-machine interfaces for IoT. 

Strategic Themes

Digital Twins as a value proposition for National Highway 

Digital Twins generation and updating model 

Digital Twins software architecture 

Research Project

Digital Roads of the Future Initiative. The initiative is a University of Cambridge-industrial collaboration exploring how digital twins, smart materials, data science, and robotics can work together to develop a connected physical and digital road infrastructure system. Lilia is a lead for the Digital Twins aspect of the initiative. 

Biography

Dr Lilia Potseluyko is an Industrial Research Fellow at the Division of Civil Engineering of the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge. She drives the Digital Twins team’s research impact and outputs for Costain and National Highways. Lilia works to integrate the latest academic research with Costain Group Future Road Vision and innovation objectives. She enjoys working in a multidisciplinary team of researchers in Data Science, Automation&Robotics and Smart Materials. At the end of the project, Lilia aims to save Costain Group and National Highways significant money in road inspections and maintenance costs by developing Digital Twin, which will aggregate road data from multiple sources and visualise, predict, and provide insights for road maintenance processes. 

In 2020-2021 she initialised and managed the project to develop Digital Replica of one of Europe’s largest tunnel systems for processes simulation, HMI Interaction and status updating as part of the Growth Associate Program between Teesside University and Nicander ltd. Developed concept of the Data-Driven Road Schematic Map for Automated Equipment UI Placement; 

Her PhD subject specialises in developing Virtual Reality applications for Offsite Construction Sector and BIM data integration. In 2020 Lilia was commended as Innovator of the Future for delivering innovation objectives and embedding new BIM, XR workflows in Norscot Joinery.  

She received a Master of Arts in 3D Visualisation for Virtual Reality Environments from Glasgow Caledonian University and a Bachelor’s Degree from Khabarovsk State Academy of Economics and Law.
