Following a very successful launch in 2018, we are delighted to invite you to our popular Sargent Centre Summer School from 6-9th September 2022, which will explore the theme of data-driven optimisation! To find out more and to sign up please visit: bit.ly/3x2DT3h

Super exciting course and speakers! Sargent Centre Imperial ChemEng UCL Chemical Engineering

Amazing review on data science in chemical and process industries!

We are looking for a postdoctoral research associate in my research group for an EPSRC funded project to work on the dynamic modelling and control of thermal and thermo-chemical electricity storage systems - particularly for the integration of these systems into the power grid..

Great opportunity to join my research group at KTH as a Postdoc and work on a project in the intersection of mixed-integer optimization and AI/ML KTH Royal Institute of Technology #optimization #ML #AI kth.se/en/om/work-at-…

Latest volume of Annual Reviews in Control is out now! Read on for all the latest articles, reviews and special sections: sciencedirect.com/journal/annual…

Our latest paper on using reinforcement learning to ingetrate process design and control is out! with Max Mowbray, @maria_papathan, Antonio del Rio Chanona, and Panos Petsagkourakis. Free access is available to view and download the paper until 15th July 2022 from: authors.elsevier.com/a/1f8SLx-vuQkg5

Our recent work on Bayesian optimal experiment design is out! We explore an approach for obtaining globally optimal solutions in the presence of arbitrary priors and noise distributions! Mesbah Lab

Very happy to be delivering a workshop on "Machine learning for predictive control and real-time optimization" with Panos Petsagkourakis and Benoit Chachuat. If you are around don't miss Zhengang Zhong on "Distributionally Robust MPC for Nonlinear System" 🕹️ #DYCOPS IFAC Biosystems & Bioprocesses - T.C 8.4

The Sargent Centre Control Club continues! This Friday at 4PM we welcome Prof. Ali Mesbah, presenting 'Toward Autonomy for Safe and On-demand Biomanufacturing in Space'. DM for the Teams link to the virtual seminar, or if you're on Imperial campus, please join us at RODH 615.

Our paper on soft-sensing of end product quality in batch process systems is now out in Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems. Work conducted UoM Science and Engineering cafe4dm with Dongda Zhang. If interested, please find the open access link @ doi.org/10.1016/j.chem…

The Sargent Centre invites researchers and leading PSE academics for this year's PSE@ResearchDayUK. The event includes a plenary talk by Professor Alexander Mitsos, oral and poster presentations by participants and networking opportunities!

📣 Come work with us! #ChangeTheWorld Lecturer /Associate Professor in Data-driven chemical process systems engineering at UCL Chemical Engineering ⏱️ Closing Date: 21/09/2022 ➡️ buff.ly/3QKdsWD Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay

We will be delivering a tutorial on Data-Driven Engineering Isaac Newton Institute Cambridge University #ReinforcementLearning by @spmeyn #DataAssimilation #ModelReduction by CompAeroSciencesLab #PhysicsAware #MachineLearning #StructuralAssessment by @lizzyintheDRG Info: newton.ac.uk/event/ddew01/

This morning at the Illumina Genomics Forum, we unveiled our fastest, most cost-efficient sequencing machine yet – the NovaSeq X series. This technology will slash the cost to $200 per human genome and provide a readout at twice the speed. WIRED feature: wired.com/story/the-era-…

Talks from Akhil, Miguel, Tom Savage, and Damien van de Berg at #AIChE2022🏜️ this week. We hope to see some of you there, a great week ahead. Imperial ChemEng @AIChECAST10 American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE)

The preprint for our Gibbs-Helmholtz Graph Neural Network (GH-GNN) is now available! 📢 📢 A serial hybrid model to predict activity coefficients at infinite dilution at varying temperatures. 📃 Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2212.01199 💻 Code: github.com/edgarsmdn/GH-G…

This year started with the publication of an important part of my PhD work!! Thanks to Mesbah Lab , Aaron Berliner, AdamArkin_Lab onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bi….

First #NovaSeqX run completed on-site at Broad Clinical Labs! Greater than 7Tb output in 24 hrs and 94% Q30, way above spec and we are just getting started. Congratulations to Niall J Lennon and the Broad team.
