Project title: Integrated Design and Control under Uncertainty
Advisor: Prof. Andreas Linninger – Department of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering
Project Description: The Laboratory for Product and Process Design at the Departments of Chemical Engineering & Bioengineering, University of Illinois at Chicago, seeks outstanding candidates for a position as a
Postdoctoral Research Associate (Chemical Engineering)
in research on integrated design and control, uncertainty analysis in chemical systems. Interested candidates with experience in robust control, model predictive control, dynamic optimization, uncertainty analysis, mathematic program, object-oriented programming and process synthesis are especially encouraged to apply. This study will involve dynamic simulation, synthesis of control schemes, mathematical programming and uncertainty. This NSF funded project will focus on the impact model uncertainty on design and control decisions in chemical process. The position is available immediately.

Project title: Targeted Drug Delivery to the Human Brain
Advisor: Prof. Andreas Linninger – Department of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering
Project Description: The Laboratory for Product and Process Design at the Departments of Chemical Engineering & Bioengineering , University of Illinois at Chicago, seeks outstanding candidates for a position as a
Postdoctoral Research Associate
in the area of transport processes in biological systems sponsored by the National Institute of Health and National Science Foundation. Our research involves an interdisciplinary collaboration with a team of neurosurgeons and MRI physicists at the Brain Research Imaging Center (BRIC) University of Chicago.
The project aims at developing a better understanding of (a) targeted delivery of drugs to the human brain (b) and intracranial dynamics of blood and cerebrospinal fluid flow.

Project title: Integrated Design and Control under Uncertainty - starting Spring 2008
Advisor: Prof. Andreas Linninger – Department of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering
Project Description: The Laboratory for Product and Process Design (LPPD) at the University of Illinois at Chicago seeks outstanding candidates in Chemical Engineering (PhD or MS) for
Thesis Project: Integrated Design and Control
starting in summer or fall of 2006. Our goal is to develop a novel methodology for obtaining best trade-offs between design and control. The methodology will incorporate advanced concepts like Model Predictive Control, Dynamic Optimization and Uncertainty Analysis to integrate design and control objectives for optimal plant performance. This study will involve dynamic simulation, synthesis of control schemes, mathematical programming and uncertainty. The project will focus on the impact model uncertainty on design and control decisions. The project will be offer opportunities to collaborate with researchers at the University of Delaware (Prof. Ogunnaike’s research group).
