Nov 19, 2019 8:00am - 5:30pm Washington, DC, United States
Tuesday, November 19, 2019 8:00 am – 5:30 pm FHI 360 Conference Center 1825 Connecticut Avenue, NW, 8th Floor Washington, DC 20009
The SERC Sponsor Research Review unites the government, industry, and academic systems engineering research community in order to share research progress and discuss the most challenging systems engineering issues today. In our two-day event, of which the SERC Sponsor Research Review spans the second day, the review highlighted over twenty ongoing SERC research projects including our most recent incubator projects. Researchers from the SERC universities discussed their research, highlighted results, and described opportunities for government agencies to sponsor and/or participate in their projects. Several of these research projects are ready for pilot use and transition to practice. This year’s SERC Founders Award was bestowed upon a true champion of SERC and systems engineering, Scott Lucero, Acting Director, Engineering Policy and Systems, OUSD (R&E) and long-standing SERC Program Manager. Many thanks again, Mr. Lucero, for your incredible leadership and ongoing efforts to advance the field of systems engineering. Congratulations to this year’s winner of the SERC Doctoral Student Forum (SDSF) 2019 Best Student Presentation award, Tyler Cody from the University of Virginia for his research on “A Systems Theoretic Approach to the Design of Systems with Learning Algorithms.” Attendance is open to government, Federally Funded Research Development Centers (FFRDCs), national laboratories, industry, and academic institutions. Events are free to SERC Collaborators and Government participants; members of non-SERC Universities, FFRDCs, National Laboratories and Industry attendees are charged a nominal fee.
For more event information, please contact Ms. Monica Brito.
