About
Dr. Friedler’s main research activity belongs to process systems engineering for developing new mathematical modelling and optimization procedures of complex industrial systems. He is the co-founder of the P-graph framework that provides novel modelling technique and solution procedures for synthesizing effective processing systems. The framework exploits the structural properties of the systems resulting in solution of formerly unsolved problems. There are wide range of collaborative and independent applications of the framework worldwide.
Dr. Friedler has been the organizer, chair, and co-chair of several international scientific conferences on operations research and industrial optimization. He has also been the founder of academic organizations including department, faculty, and PhD program.
He has been editor (Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering, 2011-2014), co-editor (Applied Thermal Engineering, Energy, Journal of Cleaner Production) and member of the editorial board (Computational Management Science, Journal of Applied Mathematics, Chemical Engineering Transactions) of scientific journals and their special issues.
He has been the supervisor and co-supervisor of more than one hundred major national and international R&D and innovation projects, most of them organized in the form of consortium.
