Using Excel to Solve Statistical Problems: A Practical Guide to the Book "Statistics for Chemical and Process Engineers"

Professor Yuri A. W. Shardt is currently the chair of the Department of Automation Engineering in the Faculty of Computer Science and Automation at the Technical University of Ilmenau, working in the fields of big data, including process identification and monitoring with an emphasis on the development and industrial implementation of soft sensors; holistic control, including the development of advanced control strategies for complex industrial process; and the smart world, including implementations such as smart factories, smart home, Industry 4.0, and smart grids. Previously, he worked at the University of Waterloo in the Department of Chemical Engineering and at the University of Duisburg-Essen in the Institute of Control and Complex Systems as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow. He has written over 60 papers appearing in such journals as "Automatica", "Journal of Process Control", "IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics", and "Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research" on topics ranging from system identification, soft sensor development, to process control. He has presented his research at numerous conferences and taught various courses in the intersection between statistics, chemical engineering, process control, Excel(R), and MATLAB(R). In addition to his academic work, he has spent considerable time in industry working on implementing various process control solutions.

尤里·A·W·沙爾特教授目前擔任伊爾門瑙科技大學計算機科學與自動化系的系主任，專注於大數據領域，包括過程識別和監控，特別強調軟感測器的開發和工業應用；整體控制，包括為複雜工業過程開發先進控制策略；以及智慧世界，包括智慧工廠、智慧家庭、工業4.0和智慧電網等實施。此前，他曾在滑鐵盧大學化學工程系和杜伊斯堡-埃森大學控制與複雜系統研究所擔任亞歷山大·馮·洪堡研究員。他已發表超過60篇論文，發表於《Automatica》、《Journal of Process Control》、《IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics》和《Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research》等期刊，涵蓋系統識別、軟感測器開發到過程控制等主題。他在多個會議上展示了他的研究，並教授統計學、化學工程、過程控制、Excel(R)和MATLAB(R)等交叉領域的各種課程。除了學術工作外，他還在工業界花費了相當多的時間，致力於實施各種過程控制解決方案。
