 (working) Dissertation Title:  Efficient Multidisciplinary System Design Optimization at the Mission Level

 Anticipated graduation year:  2021

Brian Chell is a Ph.D. candidate in Systems Engineering in the School of Systems and Enterprises at Stevens Institute of Technology, focusing on multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO). His research interests are in reducing the computing resources required for optimizing complex systems and techniques for applying MDO at the mission level. Brian received an M.E. in Space Systems Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology and a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering Sciences from the University of Colorado Boulder.
