Andrew Lee, Ph.D.
Process Systems Engineer, OLI Systems Inc.
Andrew Lee, Ph.D., is a Process Systems Engineer with OLI Systems Inc. In his current position, he is helping to develop the next generation of OLI’s process modeling tools with a focus on integrating OLI’s advanced thermodynamic models into equation-oriented flowsheets.
Before joining OLI, Dr. Lee was a Senior Process Systems Engineer with KeyLogic Systems supporting the National Energy Technology Laboratory’s Process Systems Engineering Research Team for over 10 years, working as a modeler and software developer. He led the team developing and maintaining the core IDAES code base and model libraries, as well as leading the model development sub-task for the Process Optimization and Modeling for Minerals Sustainability (PrOMMiS) project. Other activities at NETL include developing rigorous models for bubbling fluidized bed reactors as part of the Carbon Capture Simulation Initialize (CCSI) and assisting with development of the WaterTAP modeling platform. He also completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Melbourne, Australia, working on the development of a novel solvent-based carbon capture process (UNO process).
Dr. Lee holds a Ph.D. and BE in Chemical Engineering from James Cook University, Australia.
