Welcome to the webpage of the Data-Driven Process Systems Engineering (DDPSE) Lab! We are a computational research group in the School of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Our work lies in the Process Systems Engineering field, with applications in energy, process intensification and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and bioproducts. Our aim is to integrate new developments in data-science with traditional chemical engineering fundamentals, to develop the new generation of modeling and optimization tools for complex multiscale systems.
