Fall '25 Chemical Engineering Webinar Series

Overview

Process design, control, and optimization are fundamental topics for chemical engineers in both industry and academia. In this webinar series, MathWorks engineers—alongside guest speakers from academia and industry—demonstrate how MathWorks tools can support process modeling, optimization, and control across teaching, research, and real-world applications. With industry user stories, academic insights, and live demos, this series offers valuable takeaways whether you're an experienced user or just getting started.

We also invite you to join us in person at the MathWorks Energy Symposium 2025, taking place in Houston, TX, on September 30, 2025: MathWorks Energy Symposium 2025
