Vasilios I. Manousiouthakis Chair, UCLA Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Department
His research and teaching interests are in the area of process systems
engineering with emphasis on the hydrogen economy, green manufacturing
and semiconductor manufacturing. He has introduced the scientific concepts of Mass Integration
and Infinite DimEnsionAl State-space (IDEAS) as conceptual frameworks for process
network synthesis and green manufacturing. Specific research interests are: Modeling,
Simulation and Optimization; Process Network Synthesis; Hydrogen Production;
Mass/Heat/Power Integration; Pollution Prevention/Waste Minimization; Global
Optimization; Constrained/Nonlinear/Decentralized/Optimal Control. |
