Summary
Research interests
In my group we conduct research to create intelligent systems, which can work autonomously and in collaboration with humans to increase the safety, reliability, and productivity of industrial plants and processes. For this purpose, we leverage process modelling, model predictive control, optimization, and machine learning.
Our methods and solutions have been applied for the operation of gas compressors, power plants, pulp and paper production, heat pumps, and electro-thermal energy storage systems. We aim to extend the application of our methods to support the transition to zero-emission industrial processes via electrification and the use of sustainable fuels and energy conversion technologies.
