Amit M. Manthanwar – Research Areas

Research is focused on the dynamic design, optimisation and control of physical, chemical and energy systems. Theoretical and algorithmic contributions made in the area of model predictive control for linear and classes of nonlinear systems using mixed integer linear programming, linear matrix inequality based mixed integer convex programming and multi-parametric programming. Developed theory, algorithms and software tools for the industrial implementation of optimisation and advanced process control technology. Developed state-of-the-art fully automated fully integrated fuel cell test facility and experimentally contributed to the investigation of multi-scale fuel cell systems.
