The
staff of the (Bio)Process Engineering Group at IIM-CSIC (Vigo, Spain)
performs research in the area of Bioprocess Engineering, namely
regarding the mathematical modelling and computer-aided simulation,
optimization and controlof:
unit operations and processes in the
bio-industries (e.g. food and biotechnology)
Regarding optimization, the group has
extensive experience in global optimization of complex systems, using
both deterministic and stochastic approaches, including evolutionary
computation techniques.
Control
Regarding
control, the group is developing methods for observation,
identification and robust nonlinear control with applications in
distributed process systems and (bio)chemical process plants.
