Associate Professor Antonios Armaou | Research
The research interests of Antonios Armaou lie in the general areas of process dynamics and control, computational modeling and applied mathematics, and process analysis and design. Specifically, Professor Armaou's group conducts research in the areas of nonlinear model reduction, control and optimization of transport-reaction processes.
The general methodologies developed in these two areas are applied towards modeling, design and control of industrially important microelectronics fabrication processes. In the next few paragraphs we will briefly describe the problem under consideration and the main contributions in the area of nonlinear controller design methodology.
Specific Research interests:
- Model reduction and control of
- Adaptive Model reduction suite: Adaptive Proper Orthogonal Decomposition.
- Design of computationally efficient controllers for PDE systems.
- Nonlinear Predictive Controller design via biaffine forms
- Nonlinear Predictive Controller design via biaffine forms.
-
Fault-tolerant controller design for transport processes
- Development of fault-detection and accommodation methods.
- Device placement for fault-tolerance.
