Research

Paulien is an associate professor in the Energy & Industry group at the Delft University of Technology. Her research interests concern the design and the design process of large-scale networked systems, with a focus on:

  • Engineering design, in particular chemical process design (operability, controllability, flexibility, safety)
  • Life cycle considerations in design (sustainability, life cycle cost)
  • Design process and knowledge management (concurrent engineering, collaboration, communication)
  • Design and Management of Infrastructures (design)

Education

Paulien is also involved in teaching the students of Technology, Policy and Management department the following courses:

  • Functional Design - main lecturer (spm3120)
  • Integrative perspectives on design of industrial and energy systems - main lecturer (spm4351)
  • Design and Management of Infrastructures - guest lecturer (spm4130)
  • Design Project - advisor (spm4910)
  • Engineering design problem formulation - main lecturer (International course with Carnegie Mellon University; tb9533)
  • Elements of Chemical Process Design - advisor (st7011tu)

Other activities

Besides research and teaching, Paulien participates in various other activities, such as:

  • Next Generation Infrastructures (NGI), executive director
  • Delft Spearhead Research Programme on "Design and Management of Multifuntional Infrastructures", programme coordinator
  • Journal of Design Research (JDR), an online journal for design related papers from various disicplines, editor
  • Delft University of Technology Design Platform, scientific secretary

Curriculum Vitae

Paulien Minke Herder
Paulien Herder obtained her M.Sc. degree in Chemical  Engineering at the Delft University of Technology in 1994. Her PhD research was aimed at the design and the design process of chemical plants and has been published in her thesis "Process Design in a Changing Environment." During the Ph.D. research she has presented her work at various international conferences, and she has done case studies in three companies. She obtained her Ph.D. degree on March 1st, 1999.

In January 1999, she joined E&I as an assistant professor. She continues to do research in the area of engineering design within E&I, as well as within the Delft University Interfaculty Research Program (DIOC) on "Design and Management of Infrastructures". The design and the design process of large-scale, networked process systems and infrastructures are her main interests, with a focus on engineering design problem formulation and conceptual design. Her work has been published in various national and international refereed journals. She spent several months as a visiting scholar at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, PA during 2000 and 2001.

Paulien was the scientific secretary of the “Delft2001 – Critical Infrastructures” conference and she was in the organising committee of the Escape-12 conference (European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering). She was co-editor of “Critical Infrastructures; State of the Art in Research and Application” (Kluwer) and she is the programme coordinator for the Delft Spearhead Research Programme on "Design and Management of Multifuntional Infrastructures". Paulien currently is the scientific secretary of the Delft University of Technology Design Platform, and she is an editor of the interdisciplinary refereed scientific Journal of Design Research (JDR). In January 2004 she adopted the functions of Director of Education of TPM (till 2007) and she became executive director of the Next Generation Infrastructures foundation (NGI).
