WELCOME TO
PSE 2018
It is our great pleasure and privilege to
welcome you to the 13th International
Symposium on Process Systems Engineering
(PSE 2018), held at the Manchester Grand
Hyatt in San Diego, California, USA, July 1-5,
2018. The PSE series is a triennial conference
which has been held since 1982, organized
on behalf of the international PSE Executive
Committee with representation from countries
in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas. The
goal is to create an academic and industrial
dialogue, a critical assessment of existing
enabling technologies, a discussion on
research, education, and industrial needs,
and an international forum for new directions,
challenges and opportunities in process
systems engineering.
The PSE symposia bring together researchers,
educators, and practitioners to discuss the
latest developments in the field of Process
Systems Engineering (PSE), including
applications of methods, algorithms, and
tools to solve a wide range of problems as
well as provide the venue for discussion
of new scientific challenges in our field.
This symposium will feature almost 425
presentations including 30 invited plenary/
keynote lectures, as well contributed papers
(both oral and poster) encompassing a large
number of core and cross-cutting PSE themes.
We hope that you will be inspired by the
presentations and discussions on the latest
research in process systems engineering.
Nearly 500 delegates from 40 countries have
traveled to San Diego to participate in PSE
2018 and including several representatives
from industry and government.
We are indebted to our conference manager,
Ms. Robin Craven, along with the staff at the Mario R. Eden
Manchester Grand Hyatt for all of their hard Auburn University
work. We would also like to acknowledge Mr.
Brennen Reece of Auburn University for his
outstanding work in designing and developing
the promotional materials for the conference
including this program book. Similarly, we
greatly appreciate the support from the
CACHE Corporation and the AIChE Computing
and Systems Technology (CAST) Division.
We must express our gratitude to the
conference sponsors: the National Science
Foundation, the National Energy Technology
Laboratory, Honeywell, Elsevier/CACE, Marianthi Ierapetritou
Rutgers University
the Auburn University IGERT Program,
MDPI/Processes, and PSE for SPEED.
We hope PSE 2018 will foster constructive
interaction among thought leaders from
academia, industry, and government. We wish
you all an exciting technical meeting and a
memorable stay in San Diego.
Sincerely,
Mario, Marianthi, and Gavin

a taxi or Uber is easy and inexpensive. A taxi fare is
approximately $17.00 and an Uber fare approximately
$15.00 one way.
FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS!!!!
PSE 2018 will be held over one of the most celebrated US
holidays—The 4th of July and we are in for a VERY BIG
treat to be in San Diego over this holiday.
Fireworks begin at 9:00 pm and can easily be viewed from
the Manchester Grand Hyatt. You will have the evening free
to have dinner and then find your own “best spot” to view
the fireworks display. You can listen to a musical Simulcast
on AM or FM radio. North Embarcadero barge is closest

 IN MEMORIAM
Christodoulos A. Floudas
1959–2016
We are dedicating PSE 2018 to the memory of the late
Professor Christodoulou A. Floudas, a giant in the field of
process systems engineering. When Chris passed away,
our community lost a visionary leader and many of us lost
a close friend.
Professor Christodoulos A. Floudas was the Director
of the Texas A&M Energy Institute, and the Erle Nye ’59
Chair Professor for Engineering Excellence at the Artie
McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas
A&M University. Before moving to Texas A&M he was the
Stephen C. Macaleer '63 Professor in Engineering and
Applied Science, and Professor of Chemical and Biological
Engineering at Princeton University for 29 years. Chris was
a world-renowned authority in mathematical modeling
and optimization of complex systems, with research
interests at the interface of chemical engineering, applied
mathematics, and operations research. His research
accomplishments were recognized by numerous awards
and honors, including election to the U.S. National
Academy of Engineering in 2011, to the Academy of Athens
in 2015, and to the U.S. National Academy of Inventors in
2015. He was the author of over 300 refereed publications
and had delivered over 330 invited lectures, seminars, and
named lectureships.
We are honoring Chris’ life and legacy by establishing
the Christodoulos A. Floudas Distinguished Lectureship
sponsored by the Elsevier journal Computers & Chemical
Engineering. The inaugural C.A. Floudas Lecture will be
given by Professor Arthur Westerberg, a true pioneer in
our field and a close friend of Chris’.
Professor Arthur Westerberg retired in 2004 as the
Swearingen University Professor of Chemical Engineering
at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh. In
his 28 years at CMU he served as Director of the Design
Research Center, Head of Chemical Engineering and the
founding Director of the Engineering Design Research
Center. His research was in process systems engineering,
specifically in simulation, optimization, applied AI, and
in the creation of design insights to aid in human and
automated invention of process flowsheets and of
information and computer technology (ICT) based tools
to support collaboration among diverse design teams
dispersed world-wide. In education, he helped create
multidisciplinary courses on problem formulation and
product design. He is the recipient of several national
and CMU awards, for both research and education, and,
in 1987, was elected a member of the National Academy
of Engineering. A native Minnesotan, he received his
B.S. from the University of Minnesota; his M.S. from
Princeton University, and his Ph.D. from Imperial College,
University of London, England. Prior to coming to CMU
in 1976, he spent two years as a senior analyst at Control
Data Corporation and nine years as a faculty member in
Chemical Engineering at the University of Florida.
