Name:
Abdul Aziz Ishak
Specialization: PID Tuning
Position:
Lecturer
Company:
Universiti Teknologi MARA
Biography:

He received his M.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from Washington University, USA in 1995 and B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from Wayne State University, USA in 1986. Upon graduation, he worked with several private companies as cadet engineer, assistant process engineer and production engineer. He has been a lecturer at Universiti Teknologi MARA for 19 years and taught various chemical engineering subjects such as Chemical Process Principles, Industrial Processes, Units Operations, Material Science and Thermodynamics. Beside teaching, he was also a facilitator  for UiTM’s special students programmes.

For the past 11 years, he has been active in process control research especially neutralization control, temperature control and PID tuning. He had redeveloped the controller tuning method which reduces the number of calculation steps and formulated the controller tuning for discrete computation. This newly innovative technique is called Reformulated Tangent Method and won a silver medal in Innovation, Invention & Design (IID2007) competition at Universiti Teknologi MARA.  He has published numerous papers on controller tuning strategies, neutralization and temperature control. Currently, he teaches process control to the chemical engineering students, conducts short courses and maintains a website on “PID Tuning” – http://aabi.tripod.com
