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.
