Victor Alves
Ph.D. Candidate in Chemical Engineering @ CODES Research Group.

Hi there! 👋
I am a Ph.D. Candidate (Graduate Research Assistant) in Chemical Engineering at West Virginia University, and a member of the CODES Research Group. In addition, I hold both a M.Sc. and B.Sc. degrees also in Chemical Engineering.
Throughout my career, I have developed algorithms and methods to efficiently solve problems related to Process Systems Engineering (PSE), giving me experience in:
- Process modeling
- Advanced process control
- Plantwide control
- Nonlinear constrained optimization
- Supervised machine learning.
My current goal is to conduct further research on the design, modeling, control and assessment of chemical processes. Lastly, I have experience working with the industry, mainly the oil and gas, petrochemical and energy sectors.
