Siirola is a Principal R&D Member of Technical Staff in the Discrete Math and Optimization Department within the Center for Computing Research at Sandia National Laboratories.  His main areas of expertise are systems design, operations research, optimization modeling, and optimization algorithms.  John’s research focuses on the intersection of computational tools with systems design and analysis; in particular, developing approaches for modeling highly structured systems, optimization algorithms that can exploit the expressed structure, and the application of...Read more

TIEEP 2020 Spring Energy Forum - Webinar

February 21, 2020
Thursday, April 2, 2020,
3:00pm to 5:00pm
CDT
Texas Industrial Energy Management Forum Our theme is Plant Resiliency - Lessons from Harvey. Hurricane Harvey ripped through the Greater Houston area in late August of 2017, leaving a trail of destruction with an estimated cost of $125 billion, and disrupting operations at oil refineries and...Read more

Aurelien Neveu

Dr. Aurelien research activities mainly focus on the understanding of granular materials at different scales. During his PhD he has developed discrete numerical models to describe fragmentation mechanics of cohesive granular materials by taking into account micro-properties of the grains. He then moved to a larger scale to study gravity-driven rapid flows as well as aeolian transport of granular materials, with huge implications on natural disasters. He is presently working as a particle scientist at Granutools company, and doing his research on powder properties characterization.Read more
