- mathematical modelling
- monitoring and control of pharmaceutical crystallization
- pharmaceutical systems engineering
- non-linear model predictive control and estimation
- robust optimal control
- batch process control
- sensitivity and uncertainty analysis of chemical
- biomedical and biological systems
- mathematical modelling for optimization and control of chemical processes and plant-wide control
- applications of artificial intelligence techniques in chemical process modelling, analysis and control
- virtual instrumentation
- w-learning and telelaboratory in Chemical Engineering education
- application of statistical process control and continuous process improvement tools in healthcare
- computer modelling of polymer processing
- finite element analysis of tidal dynamics and solute transport in estuary networks
- finite element analysis of rubber mixing and recycling of rubber products
- development of mesh independent methods for non-linear problems
