Control and Advansed Simulation Engineering Laboratory (CASE Lab)

Control and Advanced Simulation Engineering (CASE Lab) focuses on advanced modeling, simulation, and control strategies for complex chemical and energy systems. The laboratory integrates model-based approaches, artificial intelligence, and optimization techniques to improve process efficiency, sustainability, and robustness.

Our research addresses industrial-scale chemical processes, energy transition technologies, carbon-neutral production systems, and smart process operation under uncertainty. The lab emphasizes both theoretical development and practical industrial applications.
