ISE Seminar: Computational Intelligence in Energy Systems
September 13 2013 at 2:00 PM
College of Engineering
Speaker: Andrew KusiakProfessor and Chair, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering DepartmentIntelligent Systems LaboratoryThe University of Iowahttp://www.engineering.uiowa.edu/~ankusiak/AbstractThe growing demand for energy and environmental concerns have led to renewed research interests in energy systems. Energy systems usually involve heterogeneous subsystems that are complex and coupled. Multiple physics, chemistry, and biology phenomena might be involved in a single energy system posing a modeling challenge. Models derived from data offer a viable approach to modeling energy systems. Evolutionary computation algorithms are well suited to optimize such models. Examples of energy systems offering opportunities to optimize energy generation and consumption are presented. The modeling and solution concepts introduced in the presentation are illustrated with industrial case studies.Professor Andrew Kusiak’s BioDr. Andrew Kusiak is a Professor and Chairman of the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa.  He is interested in applications of computational intelligence in energy, product development, manufacturing, innovation, and healthcare. Dr. Kusiak has published 13 books and over 200 papers in journals sponsored by professional societies such as AAAI, ASCE, ASME, IEEE, IIE, ESOR, IFIP, IFAC, INFORMS, ISPE, and SME.  He speaks frequently at international meetings, conducts professional seminars, and consults for industrial corporations.  Dr. Kusiak has served on editorial boards of over 40 journals, edited book series, and he is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing.
