About Me
As an aspiring systems engineer with a mechatronics background, I am passionate about engineering collaboration. I have experienced first hand the drawbacks of unsuccessful collaboration among various disciplines in my previous jobs and I am focusing my PhD research towards comprehensive study of complexity in systems design and how it can be not just technical, but related to the process, the people and the tools.

Research
I am conducting research on engineering collaboration using systems engineering approaches. For that I am doing focusing on the study of complexity in the context of systems design. By following systems engineering best practices, within my research I define the various viewpoints of the complexity problem (i.e. technical, social, process and tools). With a good problem definition it my research then defines complexity drivers and their effects, i.e. complexity challenges. Having a solid basis and terminology, will then be the foundation of my proposal of an engineering collaboration solution.
