| The main areas of my scientific activity are: • Modelling of polymer extrusion based processes; •Multi-objective Multidisciplinary Design and optimization systems (MO-MDO). The present research interests are: •Modelling of single and twin-screw extrusion processes; •Optimization and design of single screw extruders; •Optimization and design of twin-screw extruders; •Optimization of the plasticization, injection moulding cycle and final part properties; •Development of MO-MDO systems for the above processes; •Modelling of mixing in polymer processing; •Modelling of the solids conveying zone using discrete element methdod; •Robustness analysis; •Decision making in multi-objective environment; •Feature selection using multi-objective optimization algorithms. |
