Process Informatics Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that designs new chemical processes using the power of data and models.
AboutAbout the lab
Changing chemical processes with data and models.
The Kawajiri Lab applies techniques from process systems engineering and information science to chemical processes.
By incorporating methods such as statistics and artificial intelligence into modeling, design, and optimization, the lab aims to develop new chemical processes.
Its targets include processes that capture carbon dioxide by adsorption, separation by chromatography, reactive separation, and catalytic reaction processes.
Key terms
- Process systems engineering
- An engineering field that represents an entire process, such as a chemical plant, with mathematical models and considers its design and operation.
- Adsorption separation
- A method of separating mixtures by using differences in how strongly substances adhere to a solid surface.
- Uncertainty
- The degree to which predictions may be off, due to variability in data or factors that cannot be fully measured.
ResearchResearch themes
Using methods from process systems engineering, the lab performs modeling, design, and optimization of adsorption separation processes. It also develops methods to efficiently analyze experimental and operating data and build reliable models.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping Adsorption Separation Processes
The lab performs modeling, design, and optimization of adsorption separation processes, which separate substances by adsorbing them. It collects data itself with the lab's experimental equipment, aiming to make process development more efficient for applications such as carbon dioxide capture and chromatographic separation.
*Illustrative imageData-Driven Models and Optimization
The lab develops methods to efficiently analyze experimental and operating data and build models that are highly predictive and reliable. It also works on process optimization using models, and on methods that support decision-making for processes involving uncertainty.
