The Process Systems Engineering Consortium (PSEC) is a collaboration between the highly successful Process Design and Control Center at the University of Massachusetts and process systems engineering consortia at the University of California, Santa Barbara and the University of Illinois. The mission of PSEC is to create systematic methods for the rapid invention, development and operation of industrial processes to manufacture high-value products.  These products include specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals (including excipients), polymers, home and personal health care products, forest products, selected food products, etc. Manufacturing systems of interest include batch or continuous systems involving liquids, gases, organic solids, microstructured liquids, biochemicals, and polymers.

PSEC is comprised of five principal investigators who supervise the efforts of numerous graduate and post-doctoral students and collaborate with a broad range of participating faculty. Our research efforts are divided into two complimentary domains: (1) Product and Process Design; and (2) Process Modeling and Control. Detailed information about these research areas is available from the attached links.
