  • Telecommunication Technologies
  • System Modeling and Simulation
  • Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM)

Research Highlights

In all of my research I have been driven by a desire to bridge the gap between academic theory and industrial practice.

Overall, my research efforts have been primarily in the areas of enterprise systems and operations management. Through the years, my work in these areas has been rewarded with more than $28 million in grants and contracts from government and industrial organizations such as NSF, NIST, SME, General Motors, Honeywell, Hershey Foods, Mack Trucks, Kraft, Day-Timers, and Harris Corportation.

Research activities with the shipbuilding industry and the Department of Defense focused on double-hulled ship manufacturing techniques including robotic and teleoperated processes. This work was extended to include development of agile and virtual organizations under ARPA funding.

A collaborative effort sponsored by the DOD ("Manufacturing 2005 Pathfinder," 1995) researched improved methods for weapon system development from initial concept stages through repair and service life extension. Project partners included two universities, three military bases, and six defense contractors.

I have always prided myself on applying academic work in the field of systems to production and operating systems in the field.
