I worked in professor Ignacio Grossmann&#8217;s group together with PhD students from CMU and other visitors. While at CMU, I attended courses in optimization both at the Chemical Engineering Department as well as Tepper School of Business.<\/p>\n<p>To my surprise, the university itself was not that much different from \u00c5AU. CMU has about 12 000 students (6 000 undergraduates) and the classes are relatively small with a nice atmosphere. In some of the courses I attended, there were only a handful of students.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Grossmann is also the director for the Center of Advanced Process Decision-making (CAPD). The CAPD has a close collaboration with the industry, resulting for example in seminars with industry representatives as well as many joint research projects.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, I had a wonderful time both at CMU and in Pittsburgh and I am very grateful to professor Grossmann for inviting me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Facts about Carnegie Mellon University<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>CMU is a private university founded in 1900 in Pitts-burgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
