Biosystems and Bioprocess Engineering

Description

From mathematical modeling and computer simulation to the design, control and optimization of bioprocesses and biological systems.

The world around us can be explained to a large extent by understanding the systems that compose it and the processes that connect them.

The Biosystems and Bioprocess Engineering Group at IIM-CSIC works to develop new methods and tools (mainly software) aimed at process systems engineering that enable the simulation, optimization and control of bioprocesses, such as those involved in food processing and preservation and in industrial biotechnology.

The group applies process systems engineering methods to improve the efficiency of key industrial processes, thereby reducing their environmental impact and improving the quality and safety of their products.

The object of its study is model identification and the optimization, monitoring and robust control of nonlinear dynamic systems, including distributed parameter systems (convection-diffusion-reaction). The group covers a broad spectrum of applications, mainly fisheries management, food processing, quality and safety (including resistance to antimicrobial agents) and industrial biotechnology.
