The Control Systems Engineering Laboratory at Arizona State University is committed to broadly-applicable research in the areas of system identification and advanced process control. The goal of the research program is to develop fundamentally-oriented identification and control methodologies that ultimately improve the efficiency, profitability, safety and environmental compliance of process systems.

Current research efforts in the lab are focused in the areas of Chemical Process Control, Supply Chain Management, and Adaptive Prevention in Behavioral Health. Research problems in these topics include "plant-friendly" system identification, control-oriented approaches to inventory management in semiconductor supply chains, and the application of engineering control concepts to the design of adaptive, time-varying interventions in prevention. Recent sponsors include the American Chemical Society- Petroleum Research Fund, the Intel Research Council, the National Science Foundation, the Honeywell International Foundation, and the ASU-Institute for Manufacturing Enterprise Systems (IMES)

Our laboratory facilities, located on the Main Campus of Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, include a Honeywell Total Plant Solution (TPS) System, featuring six Universal Stations, three Global User Stations, one Application Node, one Application Module, three Process Managers, one Network Interface Module, and one History Module. Pilot scale experiments in our laboratory include a brine-water mixing tank, a shell and tube heat exchanger, a pH reactor, and a high purity distillation column.
