[[Process Systems Design and Control Laboratory]] ([[PSDC]]) was founded at the [[Yeungnam University]], [[Gyeongsan]], [[South Korea]], in 1994 to carry out the extensive research associated with the [[process design]] and [[control]] area. [http://psdc.yu.ac.kr/members/professor.html Professor Moonyong Lee, Ph.D.] is the adviser of this laboratory. [http://psdc.yu.ac.kr/Members.html Currently it employs 12 members] including Ph.D., Masters and Undergraduate students. More than 25 [http://psdc.yu.ac.kr/Alumni.html distinguished alumni] are now working in very famous organizations like [[Honeywell]], AID and [[LG]] Corporation.

The technological and economical developments of a last few decades have brought a revolutionary change in the way chemical processes and production facilities are designed and operated. Conventional process systems are now discarded whereas modern and next generation plants; however, tend to adopt state of the art clean technologies for environmental safety and to be highly integrated (utilizing [[recycle]] streams, [[energy recovery]] networks, etc.) to provide a more efficient utilization of [[natural resources]]. But this integration could make the process more difficult to run and control the plant. Subsequently, much interest in advanced control systems with modern control techniques has emerged and [[PSDC]] has carried out the widespread research regarding on the Process Design and Control field since 1994. Many of the research activities are focused on the industrial projects because of the unique feature of the laboratory. This allows the graduate students to get various industrial experiences with the capability for the able process engineer.

==Research==

[http://psdc.yu.ac.kr/Research.html Research interest of PSDC laboratory] is mainly focused on ''state of the art'' process control and process design technologies. [[PSDC]] Laboratory provides excellent research environment with a lot of high quality hardware and software including the various support programs for the graduate students to sustain competitive advantages. [[PSDC]] lab is supported by [http://www.yu.ac.kr/_english/research/index.php?c=research_02 Brain Korea (BK21) D-MAP engineering program] to proceed on the extensive research on Process Design and Control field.
