Overview

 The Texas -Wisconsin - California Control Consortium (TWCCC) carries out joint industrial-academic research in the areas of chemical process modeling, monitoring, control and optimization.

The TWCCC was established in 1993 in the Department of Chemical Engineering at The University of Texas. The consortium expanded its activities in 1995 to include the University of Wisconsin. In 2007 the consortium again expanded to the University of Southern California.

Six principal investigators direct the current research activities:
