Summary of research elements
Process systems engineering including chemical plants is investigated in our laboratory. Our aim is to develop systematic methods to support decision making in various phase of plant life cycle. We utilizes not only data-driven method but also process knowledge. The followings are now underway in our laboratory.
1) Process monitoring methodology of chemical plants
2) Novel algorithm for soft sensors
3) Highly stable operation of process plants.
