Luis Ricardez Sandoval

Biography

Dr. Luis Ricardez-Sandoval, received his PhD in University of Waterloo. He is working as a Associate Professor in University of Waterloo. Professor Ricardez-Sandoval’s current interests in nanotechnology are focused on the development of multiscale models for manufacturing processes and industrially-relevant catalytic processes such as thin film deposition and methane cracking reactions for the production of hydrogen and carbon nano-materials, e.g. nano-tubes and nano-filaments. He also aims to develop comprehensive mechanistic process models that can describe the behavior of CO2 capture technologies and new gasification technologies for clean power production. Professor Ricardez-Sandoval research interests also include the development of new methodologies that can efficiently perform optimal design while considering the dynamics and controllability of the systems under uncertainty. Professor Ricardez-Sandoval also develops novel and efficient mathematical formulations for optimal scheduling of large-scale facilities to improve operations management in the manufacturing and analytical services sectors.
