Past Events
Texas Optimization Day: 2016
April 4, 2016
8:30 am - 5:30 pmThe Texas Optimization Day will be held on April 4, 2016 in the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center. The idea behind Texas Optimization Day is to create a forum for Texas optimizers to discuss research and educational developments in the field, to facilitate communication and collaborations between researchers, practitioners and policy makers in the state of Texas, and to eventually build a strong community that would promote fundamental and applied optimization research in the region.

Seminar: Prediction of Physical Properties and Phase Equilibria of Multicomponent Mixtures Based on Molecular Simulation
July 23, 2015
3:00 pm - 4:00 pmAccurate knowledge of physical properties and phase equilibria is crucial for the conceptual and detailed design, simulation and optimization of industrial processes. The unprecedented increase of computing power over the last decades and the development of new theoretical and computational methods and algorithms allow us today to calculate and model phenomena at the microscopic (molecular) level and predict macroscopic properties of complex chemical and physical systems. Research work in the Molecular Thermodynamics and Simulation Laboratory of TAMUQ focuses on the development and implementation of novel hierarchical methods and algorithms for the computer modelling and calculation of complex fluid properties at the molecular, mesoscopic and macroscopic levels. In this presentation, recent projects related primarily to sub-surface applications will be discussed.
