RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Ph.D. Dissertation Research, Engineering Management and Systems Engineering Department, OldDominionUniversity, Norfolk, Virginia, 2004 to 2007.
Doctoral Student: With Resit Unal Ph.D. (Chair), Charles Keating Ph.D., Ariel Pinto Ph.D., Trina Chytka Ph.D. (NASA Langley Research Center).
Dissertation Title: “Uncertainty Assessment in High-Risk Environment Using Probability, Evidence Theory and Expert Judgment Elicitation”. Dissertation research developed a combined probabilistic and evidence theory approach to assess uncertainty in conceptual space system design. Expert judgment elicitation,together with traditional probability theory and Dempster-Shafer evidence theory were utilized to expand the framework of uncertaintyin conceptual design and seeking to aid the decision maker in uncertainty assessment. The approach developed was applied to a thermal protection system design uncertainty quantification study for a Crew Exploration Vehicle study at NASALangleyResearchCenter.

Description: An international competition of universities to design-built zero-energy homes. Old Dominion University and Hampton University have taken as core missions the use of their research to help maintain and improve their port cities’ central cores. Students from each, who have joined together to propose competition in the 2011 Solar Decathlon as Team Tidewater, believe that livable cities are the key to a sustainable future. Solar Decathlon’s project plan is to proceed through partnerships with public agencies, a community development corporation, and a private sector contractor to facilitate the design and construction a full six unit model in Norfolk. A top floor unit, its share of required photovoltaic and solar water systems, and a portion of its adjacent core, will be fabricated with student and community labor under the direction of a private contractor for the Solar Decathlon competition in Washington DC. Even though this project is to be executed by students, faculty involved with the project must be able to guide, support and ensure that each component of the project is working. These components include: Fundraising, curriculum development and course integration, team development, schematic design (proposal and website), design development (design, building codes, drawing, model, virtual house tour and development of physical model), construction documentation (stamped drawings, project manual, health and safety plan), public exhibition materials, construction, testing/commissioning, transportation, assembly, contests and public exhibit, disassembly and project closeout.
