He has over 35 years of in teaching experience in process dynamics and control classes at both undergraduate and graduate level. He is an active researcher is nonlinear control, nonlinear state estimation and nonlinear model reduction, with applications to chemical processes. Ioannis K. Kookos is Professor of Process Systems Engineering, in the Department Chemical Engineering at the University of Patras, Greece. He received his BSc in Chemical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece and his MSc (1994) and PhD (2001) in Process Systems Engineering from Imperial College, London (Centre for PSE). He then worked as a lecturer at the University of Manchester, Department of Chemical Engineering. Klappentext A fresh look to process control. State-space and traditional approaches presented in parallel with relevant computer software. Zusammenfassung A fresh look to a traditional course in chemical engineering for modern industry. Extensive use of MATLAB® and MAPLE supported numerous solved examples and over 240 problems. A valuable resource as a textbook or for self-study, it offers in-depth analysis of the underlying theory.
