Over the last three years, Professor Georgakis has been teaching two courses: ChBE 170 and ChBE 201. He has also taught for several years ChBE 109.
ChBE 170: Design and Analysis of Experiments
This course aims to provide an introductory walk to a topic of interest to any scientist or engineer. There is no required prior background in Chemical and Biological Engineering and juniors, seniors, or graduate students in Chemical and Biological Engineering as well as in other engineering and science departments are welcome. The course takes an applied statistics point of view. The required background in applied statistics is discussed in the initial two weeks of the course.
The course focuses on how one should systematically design a set of experiments to obtain the maximum information with the minimum experimental effort.
It has a lot of practical value for practicing engineers as well as advanced researchers. An example of the schedule of lectures is provided in a PDF file here. The textbook used is this one
ChBE 201: Mathematical Methods in Chemical Engineering
This course, redesigned and co-taught in 2019 by professors Georgakis and Ryder, is aiming to empower graduate students in Chemical Engineering with the basic tools required to develop data-driven models. It pays central attention to the statistical background necessary to understand and implement several kinds of regression and classification algorithms that can address Chemical and Biological Engineering modeling challenges. The list of topics covered in the fall of 2019 can be found here. The textbook used is.
