Ruth Misener is a professor at the Department of Computing, Imperial College London. [1] Her research concentrates on the development of software and optimisation algorithms for energy efficient engineering and biomedical systems.
Misener completed her bachelor's in chemical engineering at MIT in 2007. [2] She moved to Princeton under Christodoulos Floudas for her PhD, "Novel Global Optimization Methods: Theoretical and Computational Studies on Pooling Problems with Environmental Constraints", which she submitted in 2012. [3] Here she was funded by a Graduate Research Fellowship from the USA National Science Foundation. [4] At Princeton she won an award recognising Excellence in Teaching. [5]
In 2012 she was awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellowship for her postdoctoral training with Efstratios N. Pistikopoulos at Imperial College London. [6] Misener works in the Computational Optimisation group at Imperial College London, where she is interested in bioprocess optimisation and petrochemical process network design. [7] She has several industry collaborations, including being academic friend for ExxonMobil. [8] [5]
In 2017 she was awarded an EPSRC Early Career Fellowship for "software development for novel engineering research". [9] The aim of this fellowship was to develop new "decision-making software constructing and deploying next generation process optimisation tools". [9] In 2022 she was awarded a highly prestigious BASF/Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair in Data-driven Optimisation. [10] She has co-authored several publicly available software tools for global optimisation including:
She is the director of the Computing & Systems Technology Division of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. [14]
In 2013 she was awarded the Journal of Global Optimization award for Best Paper. [15] In 2014 she won the American Institute of Chemical Engineers W David Smith Graduate Student Paper Award. [16] In 2017 Misener won the Sir George Macfarlane Medal from the Royal Academy of Engineering for excellence in the early stage of her career. [17] She also won the 2017 Royal Academy of Engineering Engineers Trust Young Engineer of the Year. [18] [19] She was included in the Innovation category of American Institute of Chemical Engineers 35 Under 35 list. [20]
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is a British Research Council that provides government funding for grants to undertake research and postgraduate degrees in engineering and the physical sciences, mainly to universities in the United Kingdom. EPSRC research areas include mathematics, physics, chemistry, artificial intelligence and computer science, but exclude particle physics, nuclear physics, space science and astronomy. Since 2018 it has been part of UK Research and Innovation, which is funded through the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
The Doctor of Engineering is a professional doctorate in engineering and applied science. An EngD is a terminal degree similar to a PhD in engineering but applicable more in industry rather than in academia. The degree is usually aimed toward working professionals.
