About
Christiaan Aldrich is a leading figure in process systems engineering, with a particular focus on the intersection of machine learning, control systems, and mineral processing. His work has been instrumental in demonstrating how neural networks can be applied to real-time control of complex, unstable systems. A landmark contribution is his 2002 paper on using CMAC (cerebellar model articulation controller) neural networks for the real-time control of an unstable, nonlinear plant—a one-wheeled cart—which has garnered 18 citations and remains a foundational reference in adaptive control. Beyond this, Aldrich has pioneered the use of data-driven modeling and deep learning for fault detection, process monitoring, and optimization in the mining and minerals industry. His research has had a profound impact on industrial practice, with his work collectively cited thousands of times, reflecting its influence on both academic theory and practical application. A respected mentor and innovator, Aldrich continues to shape the future of intelligent process control and sustainable resource engineering.
