If we want to improve our automation then we are going to need better simulations. A process simulation gives us a sandbox environment to test new controls and train operators.

I am a Lead Project Engineer at Emerson Automation Solutions, and I build process simulations. I lead a small team to research a customer's plant and model the process in Emerson’s Mimic simulation software. Additionally, as the Mimic Instructor, I’ve taught hundreds of students how to build simulations. Finally, as the site safety contact, I enforce the safety policy and manage the distribution of PPE for my office location.

As a hobby, I enjoy programming and building electronics. You can learn more about me and my personal projects at www.adamdrees.com
