Research Projects

Process Systems Engineering

The Process Systems Engineering group actively engages in the modelling, optimization, and advanced control of complex systems鈥� typical examples of which include particulate systems (such as polymerization and crystallization), complex physical systems (such as chemical, petrochemical, pulp & paper, food processing), bioprocesses & environmental processes.

Process Systems Engineering at LSU (PSE@LSU) focuses on both the continuous development/implementation of novel technologies to support traditional application & investigating novel/challenging applications in emerging areas by interacting with other members of the department & other institutions through interdisciplinary research projects.
