  • Systems Thinking Workshop
    10:00 am – 12:00 pm
  • SERC Doctoral Students Forum
    12:30 pm – 6:00 pm
Hosted by: FHI 360 Conference Center
1825 Connecticut Avenue, NW, 8th Floor
Washington, DC 20009

The SERC Doctoral Students Forum (SDSF) took place on day one of the two-day SERC Research Review, which provided an opportunity for doctoral students conducting highly relevant, systems engineering-related research at a SERC collaborating university to present their research in an open forum. This half-day session drives high impact by exposing the attendees to research that they may not have otherwise encountered. Students can present regardless of whether or not the research was conducted through a SERC initiative, which also provides our sponsors a view into research taking place throughout the SERC consortium.

To be considered to present at the SERC Doctoral Students Forum,  a faculty member from one of the SERC Collaborating Universities nominated a doctoral student at the end of August 2019.  The Best Student Presentation is awarded on the basis of potential impact, advancement to systems engineering, originality, technical content, and clarity of presentation at the conclusion of the Forum and announced at the SERC Sponsor Research Review the following day. Congratulations to this year’s winner, Tyler Cody from the University of Virginia.  Mr. Cody will receive a trophy and a monetary grant.

Events are free to SERC Collaborators and Government participants; non-SERC Universities, FFRDCs, National Laboratories and Industry attendees are charged a nominal fee. A networking reception, open to all, with heavy hors d’oeuvres will follow the event at 6PM.

For more event information, please contact Ms. Monica Brito.

Systems Thinking Workshop

SystemiTool is a systems thinking method and tool for mapping complex systems using “Systemigrams.” This Systems Thinking Workshop introduced the newly updated SystemiTool, as well as a look back over the past 30 years at systems thinking and Systemigrams.

Opening Remarks: Dr. Jon Wade – SERC Chief Technology Officer

Workshop Lead: Dr. Brian Sauser – Professor, University of North Texas

Keynote Speaker

Dr. Wouter Leibbrandt

Science and Operations Director of Embedded Systems Innovation by TNO (Toegepast Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek / Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research)

Wouter Leibbrandt is Science and Operations Director of Embedded Systems Innovation (ESI), an industry and academia sponsored research center hosted by TNO. ESI focusses on the development of novel methodologies, often model-based, for design and engineering of increasingly complex high-tech (embedded) systems. It does so in strong partnership and close collaboration with leading high-tech companies such as ASML, Philips, Thales, NXP, Océ, Thermo-Fisher and Nexperia as well as with leading academic groups in the Netherlands and across Europe. Themes are: digital twin, big data in high-tech systems, impact of AI and systems of systems.

Until early 2016 Wouter was with NXP Semiconductors for 10 years, where he managed the Advanced Applications Lab, investigating new application concepts around future advanced silicon products, driving secure connections for a smarter world. Before joining NXP, he was with Philips Research labs for 14 years, managing a variety of projects and departments. From 2004 to 2006 he lived and worked in China, at the Philips Research labs in Shanghai.

He serves in advisory roles to several academic departments and curricula and is on the steering board of the European ARTEMIS Industry Association. Wouter holds a PhD in physics from Utrecht University.
