2014年6月13日，应“化工过程先进控制和优化技术”教育部重点实验室的邀请，美国工程院院士、普林斯顿大学Christodoulos A. Floudas教授在演讲厅为师生们作了题为“Hybrid Feedstock Energy Processes: Process Synthesis, Global Optimization, and Supply Chain Analysis”的学术报告。信息科学与工程学院院长、实验室副主任侍洪波教授主持了学术报告，实验室部分老师和学生共40余人出席了报告会。

        Floudas教授在报告中介绍了其研究团队在能源化工系统工程领域的最新研究成果，包括将煤、生物质和天然气为杂合进给能源系统，并对此系统的设计、合成和能源供应链管理建立了超结构框架下的大规模混合整数非线性规划（MINLP）模型，用全局优化算法实现了杂合能源系统的工艺过程优化及供应链中的各项重要决策。报告会后，Floudas教授参观了化工过程先进控制和优化技术教育部重点实验室。
