The MIT Process Systems Engineering Laboratory at MIT combines the academic and industrial experience of three principal investigators. A broad program of research is conducted on the analysis, modeling, simulation, optimization, design, control, and operation of process systems. Applications are primarily to chemical, petrochemical, electrochemical, pharmaceutical, and biomedical systems spanning length scales from the molecular to the nano- and micro-scales to very large-scale production facilities.

The three research groups are led by Professors Paul I. Barton, Richard D. Braatz and George Stephanopoulos.
