Research Recognition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My research has been recognized through awards and competitive research activities, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Barry Boehm Research Excellence Award<\/strong>
Systems Engineering Research Center, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Poster Presentation<\/strong>
ODU Batten College of Engineering & Technology, 2026 ODU Knowledge & Creativity Expo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Paper Award<\/strong>
MODSIM World 2025 Conference<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My research has also been supported through U.S. Military Sealift Command research grants<\/strong>, including work on maintenance work-order prioritization using natural language processing and ongoing research on hyperspectral sensor analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research Beyond the Publication Record<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Research, to me, is not limited to producing papers. I have contributed as a Co-Principal Investigator on federally supported research<\/strong>, served as a reviewer for journals and international technical conferences, and participated in the evaluation of emerging research as a Virginia State Science Fair volunteer judge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have reviewed research for venues including Electronics Letters<\/em>, IEEE systems conferences, CSER, IEEE energy and systems conferences, ASEM, and the Handbook of Sociotechnical Systems<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These activities reflect another dimension of my research philosophy: good research is not only about generating new knowledge, but also about developing the intellectual infrastructure through which new knowledge is evaluated, challenged, and advanced.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Research Portfolio Designed to Cross Boundaries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My work does not fit neatly inside a single traditional research category. That is intentional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I move between physical assets and abstract systems, algorithms and human decisions, energy harvesting and causal inference, individual machines and system-of-systems architectures<\/strong>. The common thread is the attempt to understand complex systems not as collections of isolated components, but as evolving structures of interactions, dependencies, decisions, and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The long-term goal is to develop engineering methodologies for systems that are not merely observable<\/strong>, but increasingly self-aware, causally informed, adaptive, and decision-capable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
