To celebrate #diadePortugal we were pleased to welcome the President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa Presidência da República Portuguesa, João Cravinho, and Nadhim Zahawi to meet our innovative Portuguese community and tour our laboratories 🇵🇹 Read about the visit⬇️ imperial.ac.uk/news/237214/po…

Don't miss the next control club session, with another great guest speaker. DM if you wanna join Sargent Centre control club!

It was so fun to explain to students what a chemical engineer is! Hope I was able to convince some of them

It was very interesting to get to know the challenges of modelling and control in space!

Today, the Sargent Centre Control Club featured Lucy V Barton, who presented her pioneering work on modelling and experimentation of rotary absorbers! #absorption #directaircapture #processmodelling

On today's Control Club we hosted Andrew Allman speaking to us about optimisation with more than four objectives (many objective optimisation) in real time operation. It was a great way to end the Control Club sessions before the summer break. See you back in September!

It was lovely to meet everyone and listen to very interesting talks from great researchers at BioProNET2. I also had the chance to present a poster with work from my first year as a PhD student at @KontoravdiC lab.

Grateful to have presented my work on #bioprocessing modelling, on my first time at #AIChE2022. This week has been a great experience! @KontoravdiC Sargent Centre Imperial ChemEng

Spent the last two days in Nottingham at ESACT UK, listening to some great talks on cell culture biotechnology. Also had the chance to present my work and receive great feedback! @KontoravdiC Imperial ChemEng

Tune in for the next Sargent Centre Control Club with David Bernal from USRA NASA talking to us about perspectives of quantum computing in chemical engineering!

A mini-review I co-authored has just been published in CSBJ! We discuss the next steps for genome-scale modeling for mammalian biotech and health research, and what we can learn from microbial system modeling. Read it here: doi.org/10.1016/j.csbj… @KontoravdiC

Spent the last two days in Edinburgh at the @The Alan Turing Institute 's workshop on AI, Engineering Biology & Beyond. Happy to have had the chance to present my work on soft sensors for control of bioprocesses and meet other researchers doing great work on AI in bio.

This week, I had the chance to attend my very first #ESCAPE33, where I had the opportunity to present my research on modeling cell cultures. It was a wonderful experience to share my work with fellow PSE researchers! @KontoravdiC

With last week's presentation from Dr Wentao Tang, we conclude our Control Club Seminar Series for this academic year. We thank all of our speakers again, who generously shared their excellent work. The Control Club will resume in the autumn season!

Thrilled to share our new publication in CSBJ! We've explored using model-based control to enhance feeding strategies in CHO cell cultures. Curious to learn more? Have a look at our paper here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @KontoravdiC

Busy week at this year's #AIChE. Grateful for the opportunity to discuss some exciting advances in reinforcement learning applied to bioprocesses and the use of metabolic models towards process control. @KontoravdiC Imperial ChemEng @AIChECAST10

Post-holiday energy at Control Club was high as we welcomed Prof. Mustafa Khammash from ETH Zurich. His talk shed light on the intersection of systems biology, synthetic biology, and control theory, with a special emphasis on the realm of cybergenetics.
