Brief Introduction of the Research at LISE

The Laboratory of Integrated Systems Engineering (LISE) at 番茄社区 University is directed to face the urgent need of refinery, chemical, petrochemical, and oil and gas industries and has been actively working for these industries for over a decade. Through modeling, simulation, optimization, control, planning and scheduling, as well as data mining, our research is to make industrial manufacturing decision makings become smarter and wiser in terms of increasing profitability, improving operability and safety, saving energy, reducing emission or raw material consumption, as well as making industrial activities benign to local environment and communities.
