Students and other researchers who wish to conduct research in cooperation with me may find this page useful.

The core of my academic and research interests are project management. Here, project is defined as a means to dealing with non-routine activities. The term “project” has a very broad scope ranging from construction works, R&D, IT, product development, to organizational change.  Among favorite tools to be applied are modeling & simulation. I utilize Monte Carlo-based spreadsheet models to analyze static, stochastic systems. For dynamic systems I use System Dynamics Methodology.  Interests in maintenance management can be traced back to my background in mechanical engineering. I used to do extensive research & industrial work in the area condition monitoring & predictive maintenance. 

All of above methods & techniques are grounded on the underlying concept of SYSTEM THINKING.
