DESCRIPTION:Prof. D. Seborg\, Department of Chemical Engineering Universit
 y of California\, Santa Barbara\, U.S.A.\nType I diabetes mellitus (TIDM) 
 is a metabolic disease characterized by the body’s inability to produce 
 insulin for the regulation of blood glucose levels (glycemia). Consequentl
 y\, exogenous insulin infusion is required to maintain blood glucose conce
 ntration within an acceptable range. But with the availability of small co
 ntinuous glucose sensors and insulin infusion pumps that can be worn by an
  individual during normal daily activities\, automated glucose control for
  T1DM has become feasible. However\, this control problem is very challeng
 ing due to the variations in daily life that affect glucose concentration 
 (e.g.\, meals\, exercise\, and stress) and potential instrumentation probl
 ems with the glucose sensor and insulin pump.\nThis seminar will describe 
 recent results from joint glucose control projects between UCSB and the Sa
 nsum Diabetes Research Institute in Santa Barbara. The research has involv
 ed the development and experimental evaluation of a variety of techniques 
 for process identification\, feedback-feedforward control and process moni
 toring.
