Alden leads technical development of Atlas Advisor™, Atlas’s on-premise control-room intelligence tool. His work sits where chemical engineering, advanced process control (APC), and machine learning meet inside live process units. His earlier Atlas work spans APC commissioning, first-principles reactor simulation, and IMC/MPC correction. He built a gas-phase copolymerization reactor testbed in Python that removed the dependency on third-party plant trial access during controller testing. He also completed multiple on-site commissioning cycles in China, supporting operators and troubleshooting in Mandarin.

Madhur Bedre is the founder and president of Atlas Prediction Control. A chemical engineer by trade, he built his process control and APC expertise from supporting a number of polyethylene and polypropylene startups and upgrade projects around the world on contract assignments for large licensors such as Univation Technologies and WR Grace. He founded Atlas in 2019 and built it into a world-renowned leader in practicing implementors of APC and AI technologies for chemicals and petrochemicals industries. He received the Small Business Person of the Year award from the U.S. Small Business Administration for West Virginia in 2026. Atlas is also proud to be a part of the Goldman Sachs 10000 Small Businesses WV 2026 cohort.
