X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a useful technique for studying electronic and structural properties of materials. When these measurements are performed in-situ, it is valuable to identify the reactive species and monitor the reaction kinetics. This could significantly improve our understanding of material property and advance the rational design of material with improved performance.
Model based multi-parametric optimization provides a complete map of solutions of an optimization problem as a function of, unknown but bounded, parameters in the model, in a computationally efficient manner, without exhaustively enumerating the entire parameter space. In a Model-based Predictive Control (MPC) framework, multi-parametric optimization can be used to obtain the governing control laws – the optimal control variables as an explicit function of the state variables.

Abstract
This seminar will introduce CirkArena, and the role of global research engagement in advancing circular economy innovation. Drawing on MMV and CirkArena’s work in circular economy, waste valorization, sustainable materials and advanced production systems, Madeline Leahy will discuss how international partnerships among researchers, universities, research organizations, and industry can help translate ideas into collaborative projects with practical impact. The seminar will highlight strategies for building trusted partnerships, expanding research networks and connecting technical innovation wit global sustainability goals.
