Professor
Fellow of IEEE and of the BC Advanced Systems Institue
Member of ISA, PAPTAC and TAPPI
Guy A. Dumont received
his Diplôme d'Ingénieur from ENSAM, Paris, France
in 1973 and his Ph.D., Electrical Engineering from McGill University,
Montreal in 1977. In 1973-74, and then again from 1977 to 1979,
he worked for Tioxide France. From 1979 to 1989, he was with
Paprican.In 1989, he joined the Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia
where he is a Professor.
From 1989 to 1999, he held the Senior
NSERC/Paprican Industrial Research Chair in Process Control.
Guy Dumont has won various awards including
a 1979 IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control Honorable Paper
Award; the IEEE Control Systems Society 1998 Control Systems
Technology Award and NSERC Synergy Awards, in 1999 for the development
of the technology behind Universal Dynamics’ BrainWave
adaptive controller, and in 2002 for the development of Honeywell’s
Intellimap cross-directional control loop-shaping technology.
His current research interests
are: adaptive control, distributed parameter system control,
control loop performance monitoring, predictive control, with
applications to the process industries, mainly pulp and paper.
Recently, he has expanded his interests to biomedical engineering,
particularly to biomedical signal processing and automatic drug
delivery. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and of the BC Advanced
Systems Institute and a member of ISA, PAPTAC and TAPPI.
