Research Areas:
Real-Time Optimization
Benefits Analysis for Process Automation
Real-Time Optimization (RTO) is a control approach where manufacturing operations are determined so as to maximize performance. Usually such performance is measured in terms of economics, with the result that most often the goal of RTO is on-line maximization of profit. Many manufacturing and process technology firms have started investing significantly in RTO, but there is a severe shortage of both design techniques and qualified personnel to implement these systems. Thus, a major goal of our research group is to provide the necessary design tools and the highly qualified personnel to effectively implement RTO technology.
Currently, our group's activities are aimed at investigating design methods for these RTO systems and advancing the technology from the current steady-state, deterministic focus to incorporate both dynamic and stochastic behaviour. Our projects are significant because they offer the opportunity to investigate a wide range of key issues in the design of these process automation systems, including:
RTO decomposition techniques & distributed RTO,
RTO for dynamic & stochastic systems,
RTO for stochastic processes & robust RTO,
RTO subsystem design methods & practices,
real-time scheduling & planning.
Benefits Analysis is the term used for determining the economic benefit that is expected to accrue from a proposed process automation system improvement. Although great strides have been made in the design of process automation systems (e.g., controllers, optimizers, etc.), there is only a very small knowledge base available for estimating the potential benefits available from process automation technology. Since business decisions related to investment in automation technologies are crucial to the economic viability of most modern manufacturing operations, it is becoming increasingly important to have an accurate, consistent method for making these decisions. The focus of this research is to develop a structured, fundamental approach to estimating the benefits of implementing process automation technologies.
Any benefits analysis procedure must consist of stages for determining: 1) a performance benchmark that accurately reflects operating objectives; 2) the current performance; 3) the estimated performance improvement after implementation; and 4) the performance improvements that can be attributed to the proposed automation improvement and those due to maintenance of existing systems. Most of our group's work has focused on development of the framework for estimating economic benefits and controller design to maximize the economic benefit of an automation system. The research problems we are currently working on include:
systems design for benefits maximization,
automation system performance benchmarking,
performance loss measures,
controller approximation problem formulation and solution techniques,
methods to ensure robustness and stability of approximations.
Each research project is developed to provide the theoretical and industrial applications experience most relevant to the student.

|
Professor |
Dr. Kostiuk's general research interests are in the area of premixed turbulent combustion. Practical concerns for premixed combustion are in the efficient use of fossil fuels, formation of pollutants and the hazards from fires and explosions. Scientific concerns relate the understanding of the complex coupling that exist between fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and chemistry. His work has addressed important issues for both practical and scientific problems in combustion. Past research has been to develop models for the effect turbulence has on the burning rate and extinction of premixed flames, the dynamics and evolution of flame surfaces and effects of gravity on flames. This work has resulted in a strong interest and involvement in the associated areas of laminar combustion and non-reacting turbulent flows.

Main research interest is in design and testing of very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits, computer memories, field programmable logic devices (FPLDs), and system-on-chips (SoCs). It involves developing design for testability (DFT) methods, built-in self test (BIST) strategies and testing algorithms to make VLSI circuits testable, reliable, and the testing economical. As semiconductor process technology quickly moves towards very deep submicron technology, the testing of ICs and systems becomes an increasingly difficult task. |

Normal, injured, and reconstructed ligaments are evaluated using experimental mechanical testing techniques to identify the reasons for mechanical inferiority during healing and assess the effectiveness of different reconstruction techniques.
Dr. Thornton's future research will build on current work in soft tissue (ligament) mechanics and expand into complementary areas of soft tissue (tendon and skin) and hard tissue (bone) mechanics with continued focus on characterizing the mechanical behaviour of these tissues after injury or following surgery.
