This grant will make it possible for a combination of 25 postdocs and graduate students and 10 early career faculty members to attend the third joint Foundations of Computer-Aided Process Operations/Chemical Process Control (FOCAPO/CPC) conference to be held 8-12 January 2023 in San Antonio, TX. Advances in mathematical modeling, computation, data collection and processing, as well as changes in markets and economic circumstances, have over the past two decades blurred the distinctions between the chemical process operations and process control fields; this motivated the first joint conference in 2012. The 2023 conference will attract leading researchers in the field of chemical process systems engineering from US and international universities, industries, and national laboratories. It will provide an excellent opportunity for the expected 200 participants to learn about the state of the art in process systems engineering through 6 joint-session plenary speakers, 16 keynote lectures delivered jointly by pairs of speakers with complementary interests, 2 joint poster sessions, 12 parallel FOCAPO/CPC sessions, and ending with a joint topical discussion to summarize trends identified during the conference. The meeting is structured to encourage interaction between the process operations and control communities, as well as between established and early career faculty, and academic and industrial researchers.The integration of chemical process operations and process control provides exciting opportunities to address the challenges society faces in human and ecosystem health, sustainable use of food, water, energy, and other strategic resources, mitigating the impacts of climate change, and effective and ethical use of data and automation. In response to these grand challenges, the 2023 FOCAPO/CPC will examine four themes: Digitalization, Sustainability and Globalization, Innovation Speed, and Process Systems Engineering in 2050. Four of the plenary talks and the four keynote sessions will be organized around these grand challenges; specific technical topics that address these challenges include cybersecurity, process safety, integration of data-driven techniques in mathematical optimization, hardware platforms, integration of PSE with infrastructure, the circular economy, rapid scale-up of chemical and drug processes, open-source modeling, supply chain operations, and the future of process control. These issues will be explored by the 25 postdocs and graduate students and 10 early career faculty members partially supported by this grant to attend FOCAPO/CPC 2023. Emphasis will be placed on selecting PSE researchers who might not otherwise be able to attend the conference and researchers from groups underrepresented in the PSE community.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项资助将使25名博士后和研究生以及10名早期职业教师有可能参加将于2023年1月8日至12日在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥举行的第三届计算机辅助过程操作/化学过程控制联合基础会议（FOCAPO/CPC）。在过去的二十年中，模糊了化学过程操作和过程控制领域之间的区别；这促成了2012年的首次联合会议。2023年的会议将吸引来自美国和国际大学、行业和国家实验室的化学过程系统工程领域的领先研究人员。会议将为200名与会者提供一个绝佳的机会，通过6位联合全体会议发言人、16位兴趣互补的发言者联合发表的主题演讲、2场联合海报会议、12场平行的FOCAPO/CPC会议，以及总结会议期间确定的趋势的联合专题讨论，了解过程系统工程的最新进展。会议的结构是为了鼓励过程操作和控制社区之间的互动，以及建立和早期职业教师，学术和工业研究人员之间的互动。化学过程操作和过程控制的整合为解决社会在人类和生态系统健康、食物、水、能源和其他战略资源的可持续利用、减轻气候变化的影响以及有效和道德地使用数据和自动化方面面临的挑战提供了令人兴奋的机会。为了应对这些重大挑战，2023年FOCAPO/CPC将研究四个主题：数字化、可持续性和全球化、创新速度和2050年的过程系统工程。四场全体会议和四场主题会议将围绕这些重大挑战进行安排；解决这些挑战的具体技术主题包括网络安全、过程安全、数学优化中数据驱动技术的集成、硬件平台、PSE与基础设施的集成、循环经济、化学和药物过程的快速扩展、开源建模、供应链运营以及过程控制的未来。这些问题将由参加FOCAPO/CPC 2023的25名博士后和研究生以及10名早期职业教师进行探讨。重点将放在选择可能无法参加会议的PSE研究人员和PSE社区中代表性不足的群体的研究人员。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
