 Eranda Harinath, Ph. D.Researcher Department of Chemical Engineering E mail: erandah@andrew.cmu.edu Short Biography: I received B. Sc. in Electrical Engineering from University of Moratuwa, Moratuwa, Sri Lanka in 2003, M. Eng. in Electrical Engineering from Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN), St. John's, Canada in 2007, and Ph. D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from University of British Columbia (UBC),
Vancouver, Canada in 2012. In MUN, I researched on fuzzy PID
controller design techniques for multi-variable control systems under
the supervision of Prof. George Mann. During the period 2007-2012, I was working as a Research Assisstant at the Pulp and Paper Centre (PPC),
UBC, Canada. In PPC, I did research on identification,
control and optimization techniques for thermo-mechanical pulping (TMP)
processes under the supervision of Prof. Guy A. Dumont. I visited the Centre for Advanced Process Decision-making (CAPD) at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU),
Pittsburgh, US, during the period of May-September 2010. In CAPD,
I did research on computational, economic, and robust stability aspects
of Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) under the supervision of Prof. Lorenz T. Biegler. I visited The Institute for Systems Theory and Automatic Control (IST) at University of Stuttgart,
Stuttgart, Germany during the period of February-May 2011. In
IST, I have researched on Indefinite cost NMPC, and robust stability
aspects of NMPC under the supervision of Prof. Frank Allgöwer.
Since September 2012, I am working as a researcher in the Department of
Chemical Engineering at CMU. Currently, I am working on a project which
aims to develop of an optimization framework for multivariate latent
variable modeling. Research Interests:
