Mitchell Kerman, Ph.D. Director, Systems Science and Engineering Research Areas:
Biography:
Dr. Mitchell Kerman is the Chief of Staff and Chief Systems Engineer to the EES&T Associate Laboratory Director. In addition to being responsible for program execution and performance on all programs under the EES&T Directorate, he manages over 250 scientistsand engineers, including talent recruitment, retainment, training, mentoring, professional development, career growth, and recognition. Dr. Kerman has a diverse background with extensive experience in computer modeling and simulation, operations research,systems engineering, engineering management, and business development. Prior to joining INL, he was the Director of Program Development and Transition for the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC), a Department of Defense University Affiliated ResearchCenter (UARC) led by Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. Dr. Kerman has taught graduate classes in both operations research and systems engineering. He is the author of two textbooks on the topics of computation and introductory computerprogramming and has published numerous articles in technical journals and trade publications. Dr. Kerman is also a retired Navy officer with 27 years of combined active duty and reserve experience in submarine warfare, naval coastal warfare, coordination andguidance of merchant shipping, and NATO operations. Dr. Kerman has a BS in computer systems engineering from Arizona State University, a MS in operations analysis from Naval Postgraduate School, and a PhD in systems engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology.
