Welcome to The sustainable process design laboratory

We are the sustainable process design laboratory at the University of Florida. We are a computational group interested in developing optimization based models and methods to support the design of a new generation of sustainable chemical processes. In our work, we care about the design, analysis, and optimization of renewable energy systems; processes that use alternative carbon sources (biomass, CO2, plastic waste, municipal solid waste, etc.); and energy efficient separations (membranes and adsorption). We are also interested in the use of topology optimization as a tool to explore the relation between shape and performance in unit operations.

We are always looking for highly motivated students looking to make a difference in the way in we conceive chemical processes, if you are interested, reach out!
