AGENDA   |   POSTERS   |   PRESENTATIONS

The SERC Doctoral Student Forum (SDSF) took place on the final day of the three-day Annual 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 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.

This year, the Best Student Presentation award, given annually for the best research presentation delivered by a doctoral student at the SERC Doctoral Student Forum (SDSF) on the basis of potential impact, advancement to systems engineering, originality, technical content, and clarity of presentation, was renamed the ‘Dr. Barry Boehm Award for Doctoral Student Research Excellence’ in memory of Dr. Boehm, who passed away on August 20, 2022. This is a fitting honor for the SERC Research Council Chair and Chief Scientist Emeritus who was a titan in the field and a champion for his students. Congratulations to this year’s winner, Daniel Herrington from the Naval Postgraduate School. Mr. Herrington will receive a trophy and a monetary grant.
