New book on "Optimization in Chemical Engineering" available!

Mirko Skiborowski and his coworkers Kai Kruber and Siv Kinau have contributed a chapter on "Hybrid optimization methodologies for the design of chemical processes" in the new book on "Optimization in Chemical Engineering", edited by Fernando Israel Gómez-Castro and Vincente Rico-Ramírez.

Optimization is rapidly evolving, with significant advances in addressing non-convex models in chemical engineering. The drive for cost-effective, eco-friendly, safe, and manageable processes demands robust strategies. 

The book explores classic and emerging techniques, including mathematical programming, metaheuristic methods, and machine learning. It evaluates each approach's pros and cons and discusses future developments while featuring insights from leading researchers in the field.
