A new successful ARC Hub for Smart Process Design and Control

Prof. Bao (as a Key Chief Investigator) and the Process Control Group is a part of a recent successful application for the ARC Research Hub for Smart Process Design and Control led by Monash University. The Research Hub aims to develop and apply advanced computational technologies to model and optimise complex multiphase processes by integrating the novel multiscale and AI modelling approaches. The outcomes include theories, computer models and simulation techniques, advanced knowledge about process modelling and optimisation, innovative technologies and processes for low carbon operations, and tens of postdoc and PhD students through academic, industrial and international collaboration. Their application will significantly improve energy/process efficiency and reduce CO2 emission. The Hub will generate a significant impact on the mineral and metallurgical industries which are important to Australia.
