Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPanagiotis Petsagkourakis is a Sr Staff System Integration Engineer and research scientist with nine years’ experience blending machine learning, control theory and process systems engineering to deliver safe, data-efficient control and optimization solutions for complex chemical and bioprocesses. At Illumina and through academic roles at UCL and Imperial, he has translated hybrid physics‑based and data‑driven models into deployable MBDoE and model‑predictive control workflows, with particular strength in handling uncertainty and safety in flow-reactor and microreactor contexts. He has a strong publication and awards record from collaborative projects across four UK universities and routinely builds and teaches ML/MPC courses to train researchers. Comfortable in production and research settings, he codes in Python/Matlab and uses TensorFlow/PyTorch, Aspen Plus and COMSOL to bridge simulation and deployment. A less obvious strength is his proven track record of designing safe experiments under mechanical failure modes, reflecting a practical focus on robustness beyond algorithmic performance.
