Research summary
AI-generated

Daniel J. Laky works on computational tools and optimization methods for chemical and energy process engineering, including software for process design, optimal experiment design, and techno-economic analysis of energy and manufacturing systems. Much of the work involves open-source modeling frameworks like Pyomo and IDAES, applied to problems such as crystallization, CO2 capture, hydrogen-electricity production, and even space-based biomanufacturing. The research combines mathematical optimization, uncertainty quantification, and software development to support decision-making in process and energy systems.
