Process Analytics Course - 15th-18th May 2023
Introduction to Process Analytics using Multivariate Methods – Fundamentals 15th – 16th May 2023
Course participants will be introduced to modern day multivariate data analytics methods through lectures and hands-on workshops. The syllabus is geared towards general concepts on latent variable modelling (LVM) theory and advanced topics on the analysis of specific data scenarios (e.g. batch data, image analysis and chemometrics). LVM is a data-driven modelling technique particularly useful to understand processes where acquired data is: abundant, complex, correlated and noisy. Basic knowledge of statistics, linear algebra and geometry are helpful to fully understand the concepts of this course.
Day 1 Principal Components Analysis Fundamentals and common applications
- Geometric and statistical introduction to PCA
- Algorithms and objective functions
- Global diagnostics and contributions
- Outlier Detection

- Establishing multivariate specifications for materials
- Unsupervised clustering and classification
Day 2 Partial Least Squares fundamentals and common applications
- Objective function and reduced rank regression
- Algorithms
- Parametric interpretation and model diagnostics
- Chemometrics and soft sensors
- Multi-block methods
Advanced Applications of Process Analytics using Multivariate Methods 17th – 18th May 2023
Day 3 and Day 4 of the course will explore advanced applications of the Latent Variable Modelling (LVM). The syllabus is geared towards more advanced topics such as the analysis of batch data, process and product design, multivariate image and texture analysis and chemometrics. Knowledge of multivariate methods is required to fully understand the concepts covered in this course.
Day 3 topics:
- Batch process analysis and monitoring
- NEW ! - Quick introduction to PYOMO
- Process and product design using PLS with optimization tools
- NEW ! In-silico formulation of new products (blending optimization)
- Optimization Based Chemometrics for spectral calibration to mass fractions (EIOT)
Day 4 topics:
- Handling of missing samples
- Adaptive and localized modeling
- Multivariate Image Analysis
- Multivariate Texture Analysis
- NEW! - Building hybrid models with PLS
This course will be delivered by Dr Salvador Garcia-Munoz, Visiting Professor at Imperial College London, with +20 years of experience in the implementation of systems engineering tools to industrial problems. He works for the pharmaceutical R&D sector leading the application of digital design tools for the development of new products and accelerated process design. He is an active member of AIChE, a founder of the Systems Based Pharmaceutics Alliance and associate editor for Chemical Engineering Research and Design. His research in multivariate modelling spans from industrial applications to the development of new methods and algorithms to analyse complex datasets common in contemporary industrial scenarios.
