Research

Our group performs research in the area of Bioprocess Engineering, namely regarding the mathematical modelling and computer-aided simulation, optimization and control of bio-processes (i.e. food and biotechnology industries) and bio-systems (e.g. biochemical pathways, biological waves, and other related topics from the area of systems biology).

Some of our current research topics are:

  • Robust control of nonlinear, distributed systems (convection-diffusion-reaction)
  • Analysis and control of dissipative networks
  • Model reduction for non-linear dynamic distributed systems
  • Identification and parameter estimation
  • Global optimization of bio-processes (e.g. bioreactors) and bio-systems
  • Dynamic optimization and nonlinear optimal control of bio-processes
  • Integrated process design and control
  • Web-based simulation and optimization tools for the bio-industries
