Daniel E. Rivera, Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering and Program Director, Control Systems Engineering Laboratory

Daniel E. Rivera became part of the faculty in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at Arizona State University in the fall of 1990. Prior to joining ASU he was an Associate Research Engineer in the Control Systems Section of Shell Development Company. He received his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 1987, and holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Rochester and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, respectively. He has been a visiting researcher with the Division of Automatic Control at Linköping University, Sweden, Honeywell Technology Center, and the University "St. Cyril and Methodius" in Skopje, Macedonia. His research interests are focused on life cycle and hierarchical issues in process control, which include the topics of system identification, robust process control, distributed control implementation, and the interaction between process design and control. Recently, Dr. Rivera and his students have been investigating control-oriented approaches to inventory management in supply chains and related enterprise systems issues. Dr. Rivera was chosen as 1994-1995 Outstanding Undergraduate Educator by the ASU student chapter of AIChE, and was a recipient of 1997-1998 Teaching Excellence Award given out by the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at ASU.
