Dr. Vivek Dua
joined as a Lecturer in 2004 and is currently a Senior Lecturer in the
Department of Chemical Engineering, University College London.
Dr Dua's
research interests are in the areas of computer-aided modelling, control and
optimization of process and biological systems. He is member of
CPSE, Associate Member of IChemE and member of Synthetic Biology Network.
He has published over sixty papers in leading journals, conference
proceedings and books and is co-editor of the Process Systems Engineering book
series.
Research Interests
Dr Dua’s research
interests are in developing novel modeling, design, control and optimisation tools
for solving process and biological systems engineering problems to address the
changing energy and healthcare needs of the society. In particular, model
reduction and parameter estimation techniques are being developed to tackle the
computational complexity of these problems. These techniques are being applied
to solve real life problems in collaboration with the chemical industry and
researchers from the biological disciplines.
