Group Research

The research of Dr. Eden’s group focuses on the development of systematic methodologies for process and product synthesis, design, integration, and optimization. By combining fundamental chemical engineering principles and process systems engineering approaches novel methods are developed that enable targeted solution of problems related to debottlenecking, pollution prevention and resource conservation.
