Latest Patents.

Ge is credited with 1 patent: “Subsea Christmas Tree Re-Prediction Method Integrating Kalman Filter and Bayesian Network.” The invention describes a method for re-predicting the condition of a subsea Christmas tree through three stages: establishing a digital twin model, creating a degradation-process re-prediction model, and calculating remaining useful life.

The disclosed system gathers information from subsea distribution, control, valve-bank, and wellhead mechanical modules, as well as from the subsea environment. A digital-twin subsystem at an overwater control station integrates these inputs. The approach combines Kalman filtering and Bayesian networks to support equipment-condition assessment and useful-life estimation.

Career Highlights.

The supplied career information associates Ge with China University of Petroleum (East China) and Beihang University. These institutions provide context for his professional and research connections.
