Artificial intelligence is helping transform engineering polymers by accelerating material development, optimizing ...

Batch remains advantageous for development, variable demand, and bounded risk, benefiting from natural hold points, simpler investigations, and lower upfront capital, despite longer lead times and ...

Process Engineering encompasses the analysis, modeling, simulation, optimization, design, control and operation of process systems, from micro-sized systems to huge industrial facilities. Many ...

I recently surveyed the on-site development of the control system for a large concentrated solar power station. This “first of a kind” facility offered many control challenges, such as balancing heat ...

Author Dr. R. Russell Rhinehart discusses his new book, Nonlinear Model-Based Control: Using First-Principles Models in Process Control, and explains why nonlinear first-principles models should be ...

Advanced packaging is transforming semiconductor manufacturing into a multi-dimensional challenge, blending 2D front-end wafer fabrication with 2.5D/3D assemblies, high-frequency device ...

Increasingly tight tolerances and rigorous demands for quality are forcing chipmakers and equipment manufacturers to ferret out minor process variances, which can create significant anomalies in ...

UC Santa Barbara professor James B. Rawlings has been named the 2025 recipient of the Richard E. Bellman Control Heritage Award, the nation’s top recognition for career contributions to automatic ...
