Research Interests

The goal of Professor Grossmann's work is to develop novel mathematical programming models and techniques for a variety of problems in process systems engineering.

Logic-based and Global Optimization
New modeling and solution methods are being developed for linear and nonlinear discrete-continuous optimization problems. These are based on generalized disjunctive programming in which equations and symbolic logic relations are formulated as part of the optimization problem. Based on recent connections with disjunctive programming theory by Balas, new reformulations based on hull relaxations are being investigated that exhibit tighter relaxations. Global optimization techniques are also being investigated that exploit the mathematical structure of disjunctions of nonconvex functions.

Optimization of Water, Process and Energy Systems
Models and solution techniques based on mixed-integer nonlinear programming are being developed for the synthesis of integrated process water networks, for superstructures of complex distillation and crystallization systems, design of bioethanol plants and for the synthesis of IGCC plants. For water systems effective global optimization techniques are being investigated, while for the other process systems aggregate models are being investigated in order to facilitate the synthesis task.

Planning, Scheduling and Enterprise-wide Optimization
Mixed-integer and disjunctive optimization models and solution techniques are being developed for the planning and scheduling of batch and continuous process systems, and for supply chain optimization. Major applications include design and planning of off-shore oil and gas field facilities, planning of oil refineries, crude oil scheduling, and multi-site batch scheduling. The handling of uncertainties in the oil and gas field problem is being investigated through novel multistage stochastic optimization methods. Decomposition methods based on aggregate models and incorporation of process models are being investigated for planning and scheduling problems. Hybrid mixed-integer/constraint logic programming methods and special decomposition methods are also being investigated for scheduling problems.

Highlights

Together with Larry Biegler and Art Westerberg, received the Warren Lewis Award for Chemical Engineering Education from the AIChE in recognition of their textbook “Systematic Methods of Chemical Process Design,” and of our impact in educating students in process systems engineering:
http://www.aiche.org/About/Awards/WarrenKLewisAward.aspx

Directed the Center for Advanced Process Decision-making (CAPD), which has over 20 companies: http://capd.cheme.cmu.edu.
In the year 2009 Grossman gave three plenary talks:

• “Scope for the Application of Mathematical Programming Techniques in the Synthesis and Design of Sustainable Processes,” at the Foundations of Computer-Aided Process Design meeting in Breckenridge, Colorado in June
• “Research Challenges in Planning and Scheduling for Enterprise-wide Optimization of Process Industries,” at the International Conference on Process Systems Engineering in Salvador, Brazil in August
• “Challenges in the Optimization of Process Systems: Energy, Sustainability and Supply Chains” at the 17th Chilean Chemical Engineering Congress, Viña del Mar, Chile.

Significant developments in research were the following:

• A framework for considering redundant constraints in Generalized Disjunctive Programming to strengthen the lower bound of the global optimum
• A new disjunctive optimization model for multistream heat exchangers:
  we demonstrated with our new process water network optimization model that in corn-base ethanol plants it is possible to achieve a consumption of freshwater of only 1.5 gal/gal ethanol, the lowest ever reported in the literature.
• Developed in collaboration with Dow a novel MILP model for optimizing the availability of process networks with uncertain demands and process availabilities in which capacity expansions and intermediate storage tanks are considered, a new MILP model and solution algorithm for multisite capacity, production and distribution planning of process network with stochastic inventory and uncertain demand, an interesting generalizations and unification of models for different types of time representations for scheduling models and an MILP reformulation based on cascaded knapsack inequalities for production-inventory-distribution problems that effectively exploit the structure of these problems. We launched the website on MINLP in collaboration with IBM: http://www.minlp.org.
  
  In the senior design course I offered a project on design of lignocellulosic bioethanol plants.

Former PhD students organized a 60th birthday dinner at the AIChE Meeting in Nashville where he was presented my academic tree that involves over 200 names. See: http://egon.cheme.cmu.edu/pdf/IgnaciosTree.pdf.

Also, his Ph.D. student Fengqi You was hired by Northwestern University, joining a distinguished group of alumni from his group who have joined academia.
