Ender Finol
Associate Research Professor - ICES
Computational and numerical modeling techniques applied to cardiovascular diseases. Such applications include biomechanics of aneurysms (cerebral and aortic), endovascular grafts, design and testing of cerebral protection devices, segmentation algorithms for medical images, and continuum mechanics modeling of growth and remodeling of aneurysms. Dr. Finol operates the Vascular Biomechanics and Biofluids Laboratory.

Ignacio Grossmann
Director - CAPD; R.D. University Professor of Chemical Engineering
Our aim is to develop novel discrete/continuous optimization models and techniques for problems in process systems engineering, with special emphasis on planning, scheduling, and more broadly, enterprise-wide optimization. Our techniques, which include mixed-integer and disjunctive programming for handling discrete and continuous decisions, and stochastic programming for incorporating uncertainty issues, are applied to batch and continuous processes, process supply chains, and to energy systems, including gas and oil, IGCC, and biomass.

Eswaran Subrahmanian
Research Professor - ICES
Under Dr. Subrahmanian's direction, the n-dim group is interested in designing information systems that support the social processes that are integral to design. The group studies engineering work processes in order to create methods for managing knowledge in engineering design. They consider an understanding of work processes to be an integral part of system's development. In order to analyze work processes the n-dim group has researched and developed methods for studying the flow and use of information in design organizations. They then use an evolutionary prototyping method build and test design applications that support engineering knowledge management.
