2018 Process Systems Engineering Conference, San Diego, CA

CBET-1832789PI：Mario Eden这笔赠款将为30名美国初级研究人员和8名高级研究人员提供部分差旅支持，以参加2018年过程系统工程(PSE)会议，该会议将于2018年7月1日至5日在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥举行。2018年PSE的主要目标是建立学术和工业对话，对现有使能技术进行批判性评估，讨论研究、教育、工业需求，并为过程系统工程所有领域的新方向、新挑战和新机遇建立一个论坛。2018年PSE大会将有10场全体讲座，22场世界知名专家的全体讲座，以及投稿的口头和海报环节。这次会议的目标是吸引来自世界各地的500名与会者和400多篇来稿。特别强调增加研究生和博士后助理的参与。PSE 2018将汇聚并促进来自学术界和工业界的世界知名专家、来自政府实验室和多个行业的研究人员和从业者、研究生和博士后助理之间的互动。2018年PSE大会的一个主要成果将是确定基础研究的技术差距和机会。培养在这一领域受过培训的新一代工程师对化工过程工业来说是非常重要的。会议将为广泛的主题创建一个技术和科学论坛，包括过程和产品设计/综合、过程动力学和控制、调度和规划、供应链管理和物流、不确定情况下的决策以及教育。将涵盖的交叉主题包括多尺度系统工程、可持续和可再生系统工程、模块化过程强化、医疗保健系统工程、工业生物技术、智能制造、城市/建筑系统工程、大数据科学与工程、人机界面系统工程和安全驱动的系统工程。会议将通过其完全编入索引和可引用的议事程序，包括全体会议和提交的论文、其网站，以及更重要的是，通过关于研究、教育、培训和工业需求的非正式讨论，作为传播PSE领域最先进技术的工具。化工、石化、制药、制造和服务/软件行业将受益于通过计算机辅助产品和工艺设计发现的新方法、新问题和新技术。这些技术将带来更好的产品，更快的需求响应和更高效的产品和加工设施的利用，这对美国经济有直接的好处。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

CBET - 1832789PI: Mario EdenThis grant will provide partial travel support for 30 junior and 8 senior US-based researchers to attend the 2018 Process Systems Engineering (PSE) Conference, that will be held in San Diego, CA, from July 1 to 5, 2018. The primary goal of PSE 2018 is to create an academic and industrial dialogue, a critical assessment of existing enabling technologies, a discussion on research, education, industrial needs, and a forum for new directions, challenges and opportunities in all areas of process systems engineering. The PSE 2018 conference will feature 10 plenary lectures, 22 plenary lectures by world-renowned experts, as well as contributed paper oral and poster sessions. The conference aims at attracting 500 participants from around the world and over 400 contributed papers. A particular emphasis has been placed on increasing the participation of graduate students and postdoctoral associates. PSE 2018 will bring together and foster interaction among world-renowned experts from academia and industry, researchers and practitioners from government laboratories and several industries, graduate students, and post-doctoral associates. One major outcome of the PSE 2018 Conference will be to identify technology gaps and opportunities for fundamental research. The development of a new generation of engineers that are trained in this field is very important for the chemical process industries. The conference will create a technical and scientific forum for a broad spectrum of topics, including process and product design/synthesis, process dynamics and control, scheduling and planning, supply chain management and logistics; decision making under uncertainty, and education. Cross-cutting themes that will be covered include multi-scale systems engineering, sustainable and renewable systems engineering, modular process intensification, healthcare systems engineering, industrial biotechnology, smart manufacturing,urban/building systems engineering, big data science and engineering,human-machine interface systems engineering, and safety-driven systems engineering. The conference will serve as a vehicle for dissemination of the state of the art in the PSE field through its fully indexed and citable proceedings that will include the plenary and contributed papers, its website, and more importantly through the informal discussions on research, education, training and industrial needs. The chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, and services/software industries will benefit by the introduction of new approaches, problems and technologies for discovery through computer-aided product and process design. Such technologies will lead into better products, faster response to the demands and more efficient utilization of the product and processing facilities, which has a direct benefit to the US economy.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.
