cdoc_1996_vt, "Computational Control of a Crystallization Process", describes the background of a computational project studying the control of the crystallization of silicon in the Czochralski process, written at Virginia Tech in 1996.

I worked to add some optimization and control features to a massive FORTRAN77 program that already performed the simulation of the process for given parameter values.

These notes describe some of the underlying process being modeled, and the numerical scheme used to approximate the physical variables.
