Overall Research Project Description This project analyzes how the latest version of the Systems Modeling Language (SysML v2) is being adopted in academia and industry compared to the earlier SysML 1.x. Students will help map the tool ecosystem, identify migration challenges, and conduct user interviews or surveys to gather real-world experiences. The work will provide insights into trends, barriers, and opportunities in model-based systems engineering tool evolution.
Research Tasks Trend analysis report, adoption timeline charts, interview/survey summaries.
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Strong communication skills for interviews/surveys; basic understanding of modeling languages helpful.
Mentoring Philosophy As a mentor, my goal is to create an environment where undergraduate researchers can confidently explore new ideas, develop technical skills, and contribute meaningfully to active research. I view mentorship as a collaborative process — students bring curiosity, fresh perspectives, and energy, while I provide guidance, resources, and structure to help them grow.
I believe in balancing independence with support. Students will receive the background, tools, and initial training needed to get started, but will also be encouraged to take ownership of their work, make decisions, and learn through problem-solving. I emphasize clear communication, regular check-ins, and constructive feedback to ensure progress while maintaining flexibility for different learning styles.
My projects often combine technical research with creative problem-solving, so I encourage students to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and connect their work to real-world applications. Above all, I want students to leave the experience with not only new skills but also greater confidence in their ability to learn, adapt, and contribute in any professional or academic setting.
