(SERC) of the Department of Science and
Technology (DST) sponsors state-of-art courses in
engineering and science for the benefit of faculty of
engineering colleges, as well as engineers working
in industry, R & D organizations and CSIR
laboratories, and scientists from government
departments in the country. These courses also offer
an opportunity for increasing industry-academia
interaction.
AIMS AND SCOPE
Optimization is an active area of research and
industrial activity in all areas of engineering, science,
finance, etc. It has gained importance in recent
years with newer developments like evolutionary
computation and global optimization techniques.
These techniques enable the solution and
implementation of large-scale real-life industrial
problems which were hitherto unsolvable. The
proposed SERC School aims to cover the
fundamentals of classical optimization, evolutionary
optimization and global optimization techniques for
chemical engineers, using a tutorial approach. A few
hands-on computer sessions are planned. Some
case studies (based on recent research) on the
optimization of industrial systems will be covered. In
addition, application of these techniques to
emerging areas of chemical engineering, e.g.,
sensor network design, gene network analysis,
model predictive control, etc., will be covered. The
lectures will be delivered by experts having several
years of experience in the simulation, optimization
and control of chemical and bio-engineering
systems. This should be useful for participants in
their teaching and should also help them undertake
research on challenging industrial problems.
