Russell Peak, PhD is Senior Researcher & MBSE Branch Chief in Georgia Tech's Aerospace Systems Design Lab (ASDL). He specializes in knowledge-based methods for modeling & simulation, digital ecosystems, and engineering knowledge representations. He originated the multi-representation architecture (MRA) patterns for CAD-CAE interoperability and composable objects (an acausal object-oriented knowledge representation). This work provided a conceptual foundation for executable SysML parametrics. After 6 years in industry at Bell Labs & Hitachi, he joined the GT research faculty. He leads the SysML/MBSE/MBX training program for workforce development, as well as the Digital Ecosystems (DECO) Challenge Team in the INCOSE MBSE Initiative.
