Education

Misener completed her bachelor's in chemical engineering at MIT in 2007.[2] She moved to Princeton under Christodoulos Floudas for her PhD, "Novel Global Optimization Methods: Theoretical and Computational Studies on Pooling Problems with Environmental Constraints", which she submitted in 2012.[3] Here she was funded by a Graduate Research Fellowship from the USA National Science Foundation.[4] At Princeton she won an award recognising Excellence in Teaching.[5]

Research

In 2012 she was awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellowship for her postdoctoral training with Efstratios N. Pistikopoulos at Imperial College London.[6] Misener works in the Computational Optimisation group at Imperial College London, where she is interested in bioprocess optimisation and petrochemical process network design.[7] She has several industry collaborations, including being academic friend for ExxonMobil.[8][5]

In 2017 she was awarded an EPSRC Early Career Fellowship for "software development for novel engineering research".[9] The aim of this fellowship was to develop new "decision-making software constructing and deploying next generation process optimisation tools".[9] In 2022 she was awarded a highly prestigious BASF/Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair in Data-driven Optimisation.[10] She has co-authored several publicly available software tools for global optimisation including:

  • APOGEE (pooling)[11]
  • GloMIQO (mixed-integer quadratically constrained quadratic programs)[12]
  • ANTIGONE (mixed-integer nonlinear programs)[13]

She is the director of the Computing & Systems Technology Division of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.[14]

Awards

In 2013 she was awarded the Journal of Global Optimization award for Best Paper.[15] In 2014 she won the American Institute of Chemical Engineers W David Smith Graduate Student Paper Award.[16] In 2017 Misener won the Sir George Macfarlane Medal from the Royal Academy of Engineering for excellence in the early stage of her career.[17] She also won the 2017 Royal Academy of Engineering Engineers Trust Young Engineer of the Year.[18][19] She was included in the Innovation category of American Institute of Chemical Engineers 35 Under 35 list.[20]
