material transport systems, and automotive test equipment. He has
over 15 years of project management experience in defense and industrial
contracts. His recent project experience includes:
· SPANS Supply Chain Dynamics: developed supply chain analysis
tools and simulation models of a Newport News Shipyard supply chain
to evaluate improvements in the chain to reduce cost and lead times.
· AORIST: developed techniques from statistical physics to
evaluate the dynamics in agent-based negotiating systems. Developed
methods to identify and control pathological dynamics in agent-based
systems.
