Dr. Azad Madni is the founder and CEO of Intelligent Systems Technology Inc. a high tech company specializing in modeling and simulation technology for complex systems engineering education and training. He's the Executive Director of University of Southern California's Systems Architecting and Engineering (SAE) Program and Professor of Astronautical Engineering in USC's Viterbi School of Engineering. His previous positions include Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Perceptronics and Simulation Research Leader at Rockwell International on NASA's Space Shuttle Program. He pioneered the meta-discipline of transdisciplinary systems engineering to exploit the convergence of systems engineering with other disciplines. He is the creator of model-driven storytelling a transdisciplinary approach that integrates model-based engineering with interactive storytelling in virtual worlds to enhance stakeholder participation in upfront engineering. His areas of expertise include model-based methods for architecting and design of resilient systems and enterprizes and intelligent systems for planning decision making training and tutoring. His research in these areas has been sponsored by the federal government aerospace and automotive companies several DOD agencies Air Force Army Navyand Marine Corps. His research sponsors in the government include DARPA OSD DHS S&T MDA DOE NIST and NASA. His research sponsors in the aerospace and automotive industries include Boeing General Motors NGC Raytheon Hughes Omnicon and SAIC. He has served as a consultant to Institute for Defense Analysis RAND Corporation UCLA Oakridge National Laboratory and Omnicon. Azad Madni's current research focuses on formal and probabilistic methods for complex systems engineering model-based engineering frameworks and testbeds for defining analyzing integrating and testing of adaptive cyber-physical-human-systems and system-of-systems and enterprize architecting.
