PROFESSIONAL OBJECTIVES
The day after obtaining my Ph.D. degree from MIT in June 1982 and the two-year Masters in Management degree (MBA) from the Sloan School, also in June 1982, I interviewed with the Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (NA & ME) at the University of Michigan and was offered and accepted the position of a tenure-track assistant professor, replacing Prof. Harry Benford (December 1982). In May 1988 I was promoted to tenured associate professor. My goals when I started at the University were to take advantage of my considerable preparation from MIT to:
a)Modernize and rationalize the field of maritime management from a mostly empirical one, applying basic engineering economics techniques, to one using the tools of the fields of Operations Research, Systems Reliability, and Probability and Random Processes, and solve optimally or near optimally problems that have been only briefly addressed (and sometimes incorrectly) before; and other, much more complex problems, whose solution had not even been attempted before, due to their difficulty and complexity.
b)Publish my research at the top and flagship journals of the field, and also use it to obtain funding in these areas, that has been traditionally very hard to come by in the US;
c)Educate the next generations of top US engineers by teaching them ‘how to think’, rather than emphasize empirical practical facts that will be obsolete in a few decades, and,
d)Actively and in various capacities serve my department, the College of Engineering, the University, and the nation as a whole through multiple activities in professional and government organizations.
In teaching, I am planning to continue and improve on what I have built over more than two decades. The new probability, statistics and random process course at the center of my interest will be offered to NA & ME students in winter 2006 and will be developed aiming to be taken by CEE and other engineering students.
In NA & ME, I will actively campaign for the retention and the expansion of the Maritime Management and Optimization courses in the curriculum. Currently there are only two graduate courses, NA582, a very successful Reliability and Safety Analysis course, and NA580, a technical elective course in maritime management, forecasting and optimization. I have proposed to develop NA480-Maritime Economics and Shipping Finance to cover an area not available in our BSE program.
I also plan to continue my multiple and multi-faceted service activities both in the College of Engineering, as a long-term member of the Manufacturing Council, the university, and the state. This May 2005 I participated in the Michigan Road Scholars Tour, where we toured the state for five days and met with several constituents, including recent UM scholarship recipients and government representatives, and investigated areas of appropriate UM Outreach research.
