Collaborative Project Between MCEC and CPACT: Experimental Batch Control and Optimization

East Carolina University, Greenville NC

Investigators

Abstract

East Carolina University is establishing an international collaboration with the Center for Process Analytics and Control Technology (CPACT) on a currently funded Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Measurement and Control Engineering. This project, "Experimental Batch Optimization", research software being developed at Oklahoma State University will be implemented at East Carolina University where it will receive in-situ spectroscopic measurement and process measurements from up to four micro-scale (50 mL) laboratory batch reactor. Funds will be used to support one undergraduate student to spend an extended stay of 2 months per year at Strathclyde University in Glasgow, Scotland.
