معرفی
Mudassir M. Rashid serves as Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering and Director of the Pharmaceutical Engineering Program at Illinois Institute of Technology's Armour College of Engineering. His work bridges chemical engineering fundamentals with cutting-edge applications in biomedical systems and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
His academic credentials include:
- Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada (2016)
- B.Eng. in Chemical Engineering from McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada (2011)
Dr. Rashid's research program centers on three interconnected domains:
- Data-driven modeling and control for biological/chemical systems, specializing in recursive identification and adaptive control of nonlinear time-varying processes with variable delays
- Diabetes technology development through metabolic modeling, simulation of physiological pathways, and automated closed-loop insulin delivery systems
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing innovation via process analytical technology for real-time monitoring, control, and optimization of drug production quality attributes
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2016-2019) reveals a dominant research trajectory in adaptive control systems for diabetes management, constituting over 80% of his output. Key themes include glucose prediction algorithms, plasma insulin estimation techniques, and disturbance-handling strategies for meals/exercise within artificial pancreas frameworks. The remaining publications address economic model predictive control applications in chemical batch processes and metallurgical systems, showcasing methodological versatility across biomedical and industrial contexts.
