Research Areas

My career has spanned hardware, software and systems engineering. I currently am a Senior Systems Engineer focused on Model-Based Systems Engineering and Digital Transformation. Sustainability and sustainable development are key considerations informing my practice. I also have spent much time mentoring others in tools like MagicDraw and languages such as Systems Modeling Language.

My research areas of interest include:

• Network Management
• Provisioning Multilayer Recovery
• Cybersecurity and Zero Trust Architectures
• Sustainable Development
• Requirements Development and Management

My research interests include developing security requirements and architectures for large-scale systems and developing enterprise data strategies. I am also interested in learning to design systems that are sustainable and address common societal values.

Architecture Development

I have been researching how to align and integrate multiple architectures that are expressed using modeling languages like the Unified Architecture Framework. A key enabler of system of systems architectures is leveraging the digital thread construct to integrate problem-focused content from multiple architectures.

Digital Engineering

I am interested in establishing tool environments that align analysis tools with modeling languages.

Mission Engineering

My research seeks to establish architecture development methodologies. A key task for maturing architecture development is to enable mission analysis to inform digital and mission threads.
