Description

To provide students with skills in advanced modelling, optimisation and statistical techniques such that they are adequately equipped to address problems related to evaluating the cost-effectiveness and robustness of alternative bioprocess design strategies.

Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to:

  • Use a set of approaches such as discrete-event simulation, dynamic simulation, Monte Carlo simulation and linear and mixed-integer programming to address bioprocess challenges
  • Perform multi-variate data analysis to derive insights from complex datasets
  • Formulate decision problems related with bioprocessing design in a structured way and select appropriate methods to solve them
  • Build simulation models, optimise key decision variables and critically analyse output results
  • Conduct advanced research in Bioprocess Systems Engineering
  • Take the acquired expertise into industry to work as developers of simulation/optimisation/process economics models in real biomanufacturing companies
  • Improve Matlab proficient such as modifying scripts and running functions to solve bioprocess problems
