Long Citation (for publication and press release)
John MacGregor's contributions span the areas of data analytic methods, advanced process control and polymer reaction engineering. His pioneering research on latent variable modeling approaches to interrogate large industrial databases led to an explosion in the use of these methods for the analysis, monitoring and control of industrial processes. His research on batch processes has been particularly influential. Recent research on digital imaging for process control and on the rapid development of new products is also noteworthy. His earlier research on polymer reaction engineering, involving fundamental modeling and advanced polymer property control, was instrumental in helping to define that field.
