Fault Detection and Identification of Large-scale Dynamical Systems
A single fault in a large-scale industrial system without a proper process monitoring tool may propagate into a disastrous accident. In the field of process control, the model predictive control (MPC) is being widely applied in industry where high-quality dynamical models need to be developed for …

Computational and experimental determination of the hydrodynamics in a stirred unbaffled vessel provided with angle-mounted axial impellers
In most industrial applications, stirred tanks and reactors are typically provided with baffles to improve their mixing characteristics. However, in a number of pharmaceutical production facilities unbaffled vessels are commonly used. The absence of baffles is preferred in such cases because it …

Coevolving Cybersecurity Adversaries for Industrial Control Systems in Failure-Prone Environments
As industrial control systems become universally integrated with software and connected to the internet, they have become targets for cyberattacks and sabotage. Detecting cyberattacks on these networks is difficult because existing datasets on attacks is minimal and the bulk of intrusion detection …
