Process Systems Engineering; Process Design, Planning and Scheduling; Uncertainty and Environmental Considerations; Nonlinear and Mixed Integer Optimization; Metabolic Engineering; Pharmaceutical Process Optimization

Our research focus is in the area of Process Systems Engineering and in particular the development and analysis of efficient understanding, modeling and solution approaches for product and process design and process operations. In particular the following three research areas are of interest: (1) Process operations involving scheduling, planning and supply chain management comprising of deterministic and stochastic approaches, (2) Modeling of reactive flow processes involving reduction of complex reaction systems appearing in combustion and environmental systems, integration of detailed chemistry with complex flow, simulation and analysis of reactor systems and metabolic engineering and (3) Design and synthesis of flexible manufacturing systems that includes uncertainty analysis, process synthesis and optimization algorithmic development.
