PSE for Digital Sustainability

Chaired by Prof. Benoit Chachuat
Imperial College London

Session Synopsis:

This session will explore research gaps, challenges, and opportunities in the topical area of digitally enabled sustainability. A key focus will be how digital technologies may provide critical decision-support in sustainability problems and help boost sustainability. The session will also cover topics related to deploying digital technologies in an industrial context, with a view to delivering zero waste generation and net zero carbon emissions.

PSE for Synthetic Biology

Chaired by Prof. Christopher Rao
U. of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana

Session Synopsis:

This session will explore research challenges and opportunities at the interface of PSE and synthetic biology. A key focus will be on the application of feedback control and AI/ML to genetic engineering and biosystems design and operation. The session will also cover emerging topics in biomanufacturing, systems biology, and biochemical/fermentation engineering, with a particular emphasis on AI/ML.

PSE for Process Electrification

Chaired by Prof. Michael Baldea
U. of Texas at Austin

Session Synopsis:

The session focuses on the challenges posed by process electrification initiatives. We will cover the critical need for closer interaction and integration between manufacturers and the power grid at the level of system design and system operations. On the one hand, a paradigm shift will be needed on the manufacturing side regarding deviating from the steady-state operation mentality. On the other hand, the power grid will have to cope with a massive increase in load, but with the benefit of loads being increasingly flexible and controllable. The session will also cover environmental, economic, social, and workforce development aspects.
