In this new forum section I suggest we discuss ongoing research, papers, and anything else related to the research side of process mining

Dear all,
I am a student and currently writing my thesis. The subject of the thesis will be process mining, the current title, which is approved by my university is: Does the analysis tool of process mining improve the auditor controls on the detection of anomalies?
I have data to research it, and I am planning to focus my research on assurance engagements other than financial statements. This to be more focused on processes recognition within meta logs. I am really anxious to know what your tips or addition would be for such a subject.
Kind regards,
Thomas
I'm a phd student at Istanbul Technical University at Department of Industrial Engineering. I want to study on process mining. I finished Prof. Aalst's book and MOOC. In my university (even in Turkey) there is no professor studying on process mining. For that reason, I try to research a topic for my thesis by reading articles. Unfortunately, I could not decide yet. Is there anyone who would like to study with me? I need a person who directs and gives advices me? I'm helpless.
Thanks for your comment.
It seems you've started the right way with the book and the MOOC.
Unfortunately, giving advice on a PhD thesis direction is hard to do remotely. We can maybe assist with concrete 'lower level' questions, but determining a PhD direction etc. is maybe a bit too much.
I suggest you review the recent articles, find a gap in the existing work that fits your expertise and/or interests, and start working on it. Once you get going, you'll see more issues than you can solve, and by presenting your work in the right venues, you'll attract interesting feedback and open up collaboration opportunities.
Good luck with your PhD, it's a fun journey!!!
