Schulze Balhorn, L. (author), Gao, Q. (author), Goldstein, Dominik (author), Schweidtmann, A.M. (author)Flowsheets are the most important building blocks to define and communicate the structure of chemical processes. Gaining access to large data sets of machine-readable chemical flowsheets could significantly enhance process synthesis through artificial intelligence. A large number of these flowsheets are publicly available in the scientific...book chapter 2022

Gao, Q. (author), Yang, Haoyu (author), Shanbhag, S.M. (author), Schweidtmann, A.M. (author)Process design is a creative task that is currently performed manually by engineers. Artificial intelligence provides new potential to facilitate process design. Specifically, reinforcement learning (RL) has shown some success in automating process design by integrating data-driven models that learn to build process flowsheets with process...book chapter 2023

(author)We report on realization of a 2 × 2 NbN hot electron bolometer (HEB) array receiver using multiple local oscillator (LO) beams that are obtained from a Fourier phase grating mirror. The grating splits a 1.4 THz single beam into four uniform sub-beams. Two 50mm lenses are applied to collimate each beam in order to achieve a spacing of 12mm...conference paper 2015
