I appreciate your support for APMonitor. I am passionate about helping students and professionals solve problems and develop skills with programming, automation, process control, optimization, machine learning, data science, and engineering. Industry 4.0 is a revolution that needs people who understand cyber-physical systems at the intersection of data science, automation, and optimization. I provide software tools, hardware education modules, webinars, and online tutorials to disseminate basic and cutting-edge technology.
Biographical Sketch
I am a chemical engineer by training with a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin. I consulted for many large companies on automation supporting advanced control and optimization solutions. My area of expertise is in process dynamics, control, and optimization with applications in fiber optic monitoring, automation of oil and gas processes, unmanned aerial systems, systems biology, and grid-scale energy systems. In chemicals manufacturing, I have experience in automation and modeling of the production of polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, butyl rubber, and polystyrene as well as specialty chemicals. I have experience with industrial control PLC and DCS systems including Honeywell TPS/TDC3000, Experion system, OPC, and Modbus. The APMonitor and Gekko Optimization Suite that I developed has been applied in over 100 industrial applications world-wide. I teach courses on computational methods, process dynamics and control, optimization, dynamic optimization, and fundamentals of chemical engineering. My online course material is viewed 8k-12k times per day and there are 55k subscribers to the APMonitor YouTube channel. I teach a one-week short course on data science and optimization to industrial professionals with the most recent one in South Korea in Jan 2021 with 73 participants. I have co-authored 47 journal publications and 35 peer-review conference publications that span topics of oil production, drilling automation, smart grid optimization, unmanned aerial systems, and nonlinear predictive control. My publications have been cited 1970 times with a combined h-index of 24 and an i10-index of 57. My professional service includes appointments as a 2018-19 Distinguished Lecturer for the Society of Petroleum Engineers, IEEE CSS Education Technical Committee Chair, BYU Chemical Engineering Graduate Committee Chair, BYU SPE Club Advisor, Adjunct Professor at the University of Utah, Associate Editor for the Processes Journal, and member of the AIChE CAST (Computing and Systems Technology) executive committee.
