Research Interests

The goal of research in the group of Christos Maravelias is to develop theory, models and solution algorithms for problems in the general area of Process Systems Engineering (PSE). Current projects include: (1) chemical production scheduling, planning, and supply chain optimization; (2) chemical process synthesis; and (3) energy systems modeling, optimization and analysis, with special emphasis on biomass-to-fuels/chemicals and solar fuel and power technologies.
