Welcome to LISEThe real world is complex; real industrial problems are troublesome. To better serve the industry and human society, computer-aided systems engineering techniques, such as data processing, modeling, simulation, control, optimization, and planning and scheduling, are often employed to acquire correct and enough data, develop appropriate models and algorithms, conduct efficient and effective calculation, and accomplish useful conclusions and knowledge. All these activities have to be considered from systems point of view and performed or implemented in a systematic way. The research interests of The Laboratory of Integrated Systems Engineering (LISE) at Lamar University are in the area of Process Systems Engineering with the focus on the integration of various systems engineering techniques to support decision makings for refinery, chemical, petrochemical, and oil and gas industries. The ultimate goal is to help all stakeholders achieve industry-environment-energy sustainability.
Our research niches include large-scale dynamic simulation and optimization for industrial flare minimization during plant normal/abnormal operations, dynamic process and product planning and scheduling under uncertainties, port-related supply chain management for refinery/chemical/petrochemical/oil and gas industries under uncertainties, refrigeration system synthesis and design, energy savings and BOG minimization for LNG industry, proactive and cost-effective air-quality and industrial emission controls, soft-sensor technique development. |
