Research
Interests
Dr. Chan Hilton's research
interests involve systems analysis of large-scale and complex systems that focuses on environmental impacts. Her current focus is the energy and the environment as well as nanomaterials and composite materials and the environment. She also has expertise in the development of genetic algorithms for the optimization and
analysis of groundwater management and remediation systems under
uncertainty. She also is interested in the application of
optimization to the analysis of natural attenuation systems and optimal
design of long-term monitoring systems and to other environmental
systems. In addition, Dr. Chan
Hilton has interests in the application of genetic algorithms and other
evolutionary computing methods to design optimization and decision-making
processes in other engineering fields.
Dr.
Chan Hilton
is active in several multi-discplinary groups. She is the founder
band coordinator of the Evolutionary
Computation/Artificial Intelligence (EC/AI) Seminar Series and the co-founder and coordinator of the Water Science and
Engineering (WSE) Seminar Series
Dr. Chan
Hilton also is a Core Member and an Executive
Committee Member of the FSU Aeropropulsion,
Mechatronics, and Energy (AME) Center
