The objcetive of our research is to develop simple yet rigorous methods to solve problems of engineering significance. We would like to provide the engineer with tools to assist in problem solving.

Summary of research contributions.

Main research areas:

Recent work on feedback-based optimization (From 2024; very interesting, I think).
Advanced control using architectures based on PID controllers and other simple elements.
Feedback as a tool to reduce uncertainty (including robust control)
Feedback as a tool to operate in new operating regimes (including stabilization of desired flow regimes)
Controllability of processes (achievable control performance) (see my book for more details)
Control structure design (Plantwide control)
Self-optimizing control
Design and control of distillation processes (continuous and batch)
PID control
