Dear CIC Systems and Control Division members,
Please find attached the agenda for the 2024 Systems and Control Division AGM to take place during CSChE in Toronto on Tuesday October 8th at 12:45PM in Room Queens Quay 1.
Looking forward to seeing you Toronto,
Nicolas Hudon, Systems and Control Division Chair.
Hi,
The Systems and Control Division AGM will take place during CSChE on Tuesday, October 8th, at 12:45 in the Queens Quay 1 room. The agenda will be distributed next week, in the meantime, please let me know if you have any item to be added to the agenda.
Also, please note that we received an email from CIC stating that abstracts from speakers who are unregistered by September 4th will be withdrawn from
the program. So, if you received an email from CIC urging you to register, please do by September 4th.
Let me know if you have any issues.

Dear members of the Canadian Systems and Control Community,
This is a quick reminder that the early registration for CSChE 2024 date is July 19th. Please use the link on the webpage:
The technical program will be announced soon. Please note the key features of the Systems and Control Division Program:
The D. G. Fisher Award lecture by Dr Luis Ricardez- Sandoval (UWaterloo) will be on Monday October 7th at 10AM. The title of the talk is: /Towards
the Development of Effective Computational Tools and Algorithms for Optimal Process Integration in Chemical and Manufacturing System/
The invited lecture by Dr Mireille Broucke (EE, UofT) will be on Tuesday October 8th at 10 AM. The title of the talk is: /Problems of Systems
Neuroscience and Control Theory/
The Best Graduate Student Paper Award lecture, which I am happy to report is from our community this year, by Bernard Twum Agyeman (UofA) will be on
Monday October 7th at 1:30PM. The title of the talk is: /Learning-based Mixed-integer Optimal Control for Irrigation Scheduling /(*Congratulations
Bernard!*)
The Systems and Control Division AGM will be held on Tuesday at lunch. Official date and time, as well as the agenda, will be circulated shortly.
Finally, please note from the program that the Systems and Control Division sessions will be on Monday and Tuesday only — We had less allotted presentation slots than usual this year. As a result, some very good contributions had to be moved to the poster category. At the end, I believe that our program reflects the diversity of our community.
See you in Toronto in October,

Please find enclosed the advertisements for 2 PDF positions in Luis Ricardez Sandoval’s group at University of Waterloo (laricardezsandoval@uwaterloo.ca).
Dear members of the Canadian Systems and Control Community,
Please join me in congratulating Luis A. Ricardez-Sandoval from the University of Waterloo for the 2024 D. G. Fisher Award. Official announcement for the award can be found here:
Luis will deliver the award lecture as part of the Systems and Control Division Symposium at the 2024 CSChE Conference in Toronto. Stay tuned for
the official program.
In the meantime, congratulations Luis!

Hi all,
Thank you for those of you who already sent their contributions to the Systems and Control Symposium at CSChE 2024 in Toronto.
We have a pretty good number of submissions so far, but it is not too late. The “Last Chance Deadline” is Monday, May 13.
Looking forward to seeing you in Toronto.

Prof. Thomas A. Adams II <https://SystemsControlCanada.hosted.phplist.com/lists/lt.php?tid=lKEM5m2eOpqqMzkopO6fHwIYhUOtCWdfkMLAgVIn2VPC3A22wd1bo4GjwP4QRuOH> at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is seeking two PhD Candidates on Greener and More Secure Chemical Processes. The position is a part of the NTNU-MIT Energy Research Programme, and candidates will collaborate directly with faculty members at the Chemical Engineering Department at MIT. From the project description <https://SystemsControlCanada.hosted.phplist.com/lists/lt.php?tid=A+9XFgbXBrW4ofPXlHsivQIYhUOtCWdfkMLAgVIn2VPC3A22wd37o4GjwP4QRuOH>:
The Process and Power Program, Department of Energy and Process Engineering (EPT) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is seeking PhD Candidates in the NTNU-MIT Energy Research Programme under the research topic “Greener, More Secure Energy Supply Chains through Improved Processes”. As a part of the research programme, NTNU PhD candidates will collaborate with MIT professors and researchers on important research topics in energy. This topic focuses big-picture technology decisions on how to address tradeoffs between economics, security, and environmental issues in energy supplies from a triple bottom line of sustainability standpoint. One key methodology includes eco-technoeconomic analyses of proposed early stage technologies in order to value and identify potential technology solutions (new processes, technologies, unit operations, etc.) that are the most promising from a commercial and practical standpoint (and which to reject). These will be done with the big picture in mind while focusing on the technical details at the process and unit operation level, understanding that the supply chain and regional impacts are important and impact all the way down to the process design level.
Two projects are possible:
Project 1: PhD Candidate in Green Hydrogen Economy Technologies and Supply Chains
Project 2: PhD Candidate in Electrification of Chemical Processes
Prof. Adams is looking for talented candidates with backgrounds in chemical process systems engineering, energy systems engineering, and other related fields. Expertise is sought in process simulation software such as Aspen Plus, Hysys, ProMax, life cycle assessment software such as SimaPro or OpenLCA, and optimization software such as GAMS, PYOMO are desirable, as well as knowledge of their underlying methodologies.
You can read the full description and apply through the official job posting on JobbNorge <https://SystemsControlCanada.hosted.phplist.com/lists/lt.php?tid=0yJxbQ6mRd2EyxwiqH309wIYhUOtCbdfkMLAgVIn2VPC3A22wd2Lo4GjwP4QRuOH>. Questions can be sent to Prof. Adams <mailto:thomas.a.adams@ntnu.no> directly.
