Ignacio E. Grossmann (born 1949) is an American chemical engineer. He is the R. R. Dean University Professor in the department of chemical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University.[1] Grossmann received his B.S. degree from Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City in 1974. He did his M.S. and Ph.D. at Imperial College London with Roger W. H. Sargent[2] in 1975 and 1977 respectively. In 2015 he was the first recipient of the Sargent Medal of the Institution of Chemical Engineers, named in honor of his doctoral advisor.[3] Grossmann is a member of US National Academy of Engineering,[4] and Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE),[5] and a Fellow of Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS).[6] He has a large academic family tree,[7] [8] and has an H-index of 122 by Google Scholar.[9] He is a member and former director of the Center for Advanced Process Decision-making, an industrial consortium that involves 20 petroleum, chemical, engineering, and software companies.

His main research interests are in the areas of discrete/continuous optimization, optimal synthesis and planning of chemical processes and energy systems, supply chain optimization, and optimization under uncertainty.

Publications

Grossmann has authored more than 700 papers[10] and is a co-author of the text book "Systematic Methods of Chemical Process Design"[11] and author of the textbook "Advanced Optimization for Process Systems Engineering"[12] . His main contributions are through peer-reviewed articles on mixed-integer nonlinear programming,[13] [14] heat integration,[15] production scheduling,[16] among others.
