ProfessorÌýRicardez-SandovalÌýwas recently namedÌýinÌýMultiscaleÌýModelling and Process Systems.ÌýProfessorÌýRicardez-Sandoval’s CRC is focused on developing new computational tools that can aid in the design of novel products and systems for emerging applications in the energy and advanced manufacturing sectors through the use of advanced process systems techniques and modelling methods such asÌýmultiscaleÌýmodelling.Ìý
ProfessorÌýRicardez-SandovalÌýis
at
the
frontier
of
developing
novel
algorithmic
frameworks
for
optimal
design
and
operations
management
in
emerging
manufacturing
and
energy
systems.
In
particular,
Professor
Ricardez-Sandoval
is
producing
new
computational
tools
that
will
innovate
the
manufacturing
of
high
valuable
(fine-scale)
materials
under
typical
conditions
encountered
in
advanced
manufacturing
facilities
(e.g.
external
perturbations
and
uncertainty
in
the
system’s
parameters).
Also,
Professor
Ricardez-Sandoval
is
developing
new
designs
for
efficient
and
affordable
CO2Ìýcapture
and
clean
power
generation
technologies
that
can
mitigate
CO2
emissions,
and
improve
the
design
and
operation
of
industrially-relevant
chemical
processes
such
as
production
of
carbonaceous
or
thin
film
materials
for
mobile
applications.
The
tools
and
methodologies
developed
by
ProfessorÌýRicardez-SandovalÌýcan
be
used
as
cost-effective
computer-aided
design
tools
to
realize
the
manufacturing
of
high
valuable
materials
and
products
and
to
determine
the
technical
viability
of
new
emerging
technologies
in
the
manufacturing
and
energy
sectors
that
can
address
pressing
issues
affecting
society
such
as
global
warming.
