معرفی
Hessam Sarjoughian is an Associate Professor of Computer Science and Computer Engineering in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence at Arizona State University. He holds additional affiliations with the Biosocial Complexity Initiative, Center for Social Dynamics and Complexity (CSDC), and Water Institute at ASU. As Co-Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Modeling and Simulation (ACIMS), he leads interdisciplinary research efforts at the intersection of modeling, simulation, and complex systems.
Dr. Sarjoughian earned his Ph.D. and M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Arizona and his B.S. at Mississippi State University. His professional engineering background includes nearly five years with Honeywell and IBM prior to his academic career.
His research focuses on modeling theories, methodologies, and frameworks supporting composable, heterogeneous, multi-scale systems-of-systems. Specialized areas include poly-formalism modeling, hybrid simulation, agent-based modeling & simulation, collaborative model engineering, and executable software architecture. Application domains span cyber-physical systems, network-on-chips, socio-environmental systems, enterprise supply chains, cellular biology, and service-oriented computing. He has developed the DEVS-Suite simulator, a flagship tool serving research at science and engineering frontiers.
His scholarly work appears in SIMULATION: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation International, IEEE Access, IEEE Computer, and other high-impact journals. Research funding comes from NSF, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Intel, Boeing, and previously DARPA. His publications demonstrate a consistent trajectory toward integrating modeling approaches across domains, particularly in water-energy-food nexus systems, semiconductor manufacturing, and cyber-physical networked systems.
