Successes of my course participants:
Me and my team have won the 2nd prize among 69 teams of the hackathon where our task was to use big data analysis and Machine Learning to optimize one of the central units in copper processing. During this two-day blitz, we have developed a regression model and a genetic algorithm to find optimal operational parameters to stabilize the heat losses. I would like to thank Ivana Lukec who taught me a lot about chemical process optimization and working with industrial data.

Are you ready for the next step in your career?
What's our plan?
- NOW: I enroll in the course
- EVERY THURSDAY: Starting November 25th, I meet with my instructor and my group to learn, discuss and be guided through my assignments!
- ANY DAY: In case I missed the group meeting, I can go through the recording. I use the rest of the week to go through all other training materials. If I have problems, questions or doubts I get in touch with my instructor for support!
- NEXT 10 WEEKS - I will work on my plans, strategies and assignments according to the guidance of my instructor.
- BEGINNING OF 2022: I'm ready to apply my new skills in my professional environment!
About your instructor
Ivana is the right person to guide you through this course because she has built her experience in a consulting company serving the process industry with solutions in process improvements and optimization.
Through her 18 years of experience, she has been involved in the execution of projects based of process modeling and simulation including optimization studies and projects, conceptual and basic design, energy efficiency improvement projects, data-driven models and predictive analytics, advanced process control and operator training simulators as an engineer and later consultant. Process analysis, development and optimization are her passion in all areas of life and she is very much motivated to transfer her passion for problem-solving to younger engineers. Some of her experiences she is sharing as an author on her blog SimulateLive.com
She’d like to see more chemical engineering entrepreneurs who are confident and motivated enough to take responsibility and leadership in creating better and sustainable paths and processes to help environment preservation, pollution minimization and more efficient waste conversion.
