Competence Areas

Competence Areas

The Research Programme in Competence Areas Are divided into Four Areas:

  • Product and Process Design
  • Operations and Control
  • Modelling and Model Solution Tools
  • Computational Optimisation and Machine Learning

Competence Areas: Product and Process Design - Operations and Control

Product and Process Design

Product and Process Design

The development of systematic model-based methodologies for the rational design of processes and products continues to be an important area of activity within the Sargent Centre.

Product and Process Design

Operations and Control

Operations and Control

Process Operations uses mathematical models that capture the underlying science and adopts an optimization approach to give improved operation in terms of product quality, energy usage, environmental impact and sustainability.

Operations and Control

Competence Areas: Modelling and Model Solutions - Computational Optimisation and Machine Learning

Modelling and Model Solutions

Modelling and Model Solutions

Modelling and tools for solving the models are the engines of Process Systems Engineering.
