Computer aided design, and development of advanced control strategies for implementa- tion in industrial processes. _E_D_U_C_A_T_I_O_N_A_L _B_A_C_K_G_R_O_U_N_D Ph.D. Expected Date : August 1985. University of Louisville. Received a University Fellowship Grant - Awarded on the basis of academic excellence. 1981-85. Current GPA : 3.82/4.0. Doctoral Dissertation : "Implementation of 'Dynamic Matrix Control' strategy on a distillation column." The objective of this research is to successfully implement DMC on an experimental distillation unit and to develop a procedure to obtain the various tuning parameters embedded in the design of this strategy. The ability of this technique to control highly interactive multivari- able processes and its ability to handle constraints is studied. M.S. May 1983. University of Louisville. GPA: 3.89/4.0 M.S. Thesis : "Computer simulation of 'Dynamic Matrix Control' algorithm." The performance of DMC algorithm for control of single and multivari- able systems is evaluated using computer simulation. The ability of the algorithm in handling processes with dead-time and other unusual dynamic behaviour is also studied. B.Tech. May 1981.
