Stevan S. Dubljevic

Stevan S. Dubljevic is a full Professor in the Chemical and Materials Engineering Department at the University of Alberta's Faculty of Engineering. His research spans process systems engineering with applications in semiconductor manufacturing, biomedical systems, and energy infrastructure.

Education Background:

• Ph.D. (2005) - Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
• M.S. (2001) - Texas A&M University
• B.Sc. (1997) - Belgrade University, Serbia

Professor Dubljevic's research focuses on model predictive control of distributed parameter systems, with significant contributions in crystal growth processes (Czochralski, Bridgman, zone refining), cardiac electrophysiological modeling, pipeline water network monitoring using autonomous robots, and renewable energy systems integration. His work bridges theoretical control systems with industrial applications in semiconductor manufacturing, oil/gas processing, and biomedical engineering.

Key Scientific Recognition:

• American Heart Association Post-doctoral Grant Award recipient (2007-2009)
• O. Hugo Schuck Award for Applications (2007)

He serves as program coordinator for AIChE Annual Meetings (2014) and reviews for leading journals including IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control and Automatica. His teaching portfolio includes advanced process control courses (CHE 472, 573, 576) covering modeling dynamics, digital signal processing, and model predictive control. The DPS Lab (dpslab.org) drives his research in industrial process optimization and control system synthesis.
