Process Systems Engineering
at Louisiana State University
General Information About our Research Group
Process systems Engineering (PSE) involves a very integrated and
wide-ranging study of manufacturing processes, focusing on how whole
production plants operate, rather than single units. Involves liberal
use of high-tech computer simulations techniques to operate and
improve production processes. It brings together a number of technologies
to support manufacturing activities. Computers are used for plant
design, operation and control and the aim is to look at all these
tasks in an integral manner.
The field of PSE is expanding extremely rapidly and the areas of
application of PSE ideas are today well beyond than just the support
of manufacturing activities extending to non-conventional areas.
Process Engineering principles are having strong impact in areas
such as biology, environmental monitoring and impact assessment,
production of smart materials, nanotechnology as well as smart/novel
sensor architectures.
Process Systems Engineering at LSU (PSE@LSU), focus on both: the
continuous development/implementation of novel technologies to support
traditional application as well as investigating novel/challenging
applications in emerging areas by interacting with other members
of the department and other institutions through interdisciplinary
research projects.
