I aim to apply these skills to advance strategic and mission engineering, digital engineering of large-scale systems-of-systems, and designing incentive mechanisms for collaborative product and systems development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before joining Old Dominion University, I earned my Ph.D. in systems engineering from the Stevens Institute of Technology in 2021. I also hold bachelor&#8217;s and M.Sc. degrees in mechanical engineering from the Universidad del Atl\u00e1ntico in Colombia and the Universidad de Puerto Rico Recinto Universitario de Mayag\u00fcez. My industry experience includes working in the naval technology sector and the mining and construction equipment industries, providing me with practical insights that complement my academic background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout my academic career, I have had the opportunity to contribute to diverse research efforts. Some of these endeavors include researching the challenges and opportunities for artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics in aligning early-stage planning and execution of large-scale capital projects \u2014 as a postdoc at Carnegie Mellon University \u2014 and leveraging network science and visual analytics for a meaningful digital transformation of regions with a critical need to level up their infrastructure and increase their productivity \u2014 as a postdoc at the Roux Institute. I have also served on academic integrity committees, as a peer mentor, and as chair of academic symposia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am excited to connect with you and discuss potential collaboration opportunities that intersect with my research interests and help advance engineering research and education. Please email me at a1valenc@odu.edu or send me an inquiry using the contact form below. I will gladly reach back promptly. Have a wonderful day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 AVR<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"cscf\" class=\"cscfBlock\">\n
