I am interested in developing, implementing, and analysing models of chemical and biochemical processes essentially to provide process understanding. This helps engineers during process and control structure design. My research has been focused in the areas of modelling, simulation and model analysis of bioprocesses, separation processes (especially membrane based) and integrated systems operation. I have worked developing tools and expanding methodologies to deal with non-conventional systems. Besides, I am interested investigating the operability of chemical and biochemical processes, automatic control structures design, control implementation and its performance evaluation. Additionally, I have been investigating the theoretically and experimentally operation of dynamic systems. I have a growing interest in applying dynamic membrane technologies in wastewater treatment, especially where other technologies cannot meet the required targets. Finally, I have experience in pilot plant operation with different levels of automation.
