Professor Michael Mulholland

 
After 5 years in industry, Prof Mulholland returned to the University of Natal in 1982, retiring from UKZN in 2012. Teaching has included Process Control, Design, Reactor Technology and Transfer Processes. Research is in the general area of Process Systems Engineering, seeking novel computer methods for optimisation, operation, identification and design of chemical processes. Current research includes predictive control of hybrid systems, with applications in water distribution network identification and operation.
