Hessam Sarjoughian
Associate Professor, School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence
Hessam Sarjoughian is an associate professor of computer science and computer engineering in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence. His research has been funded by NSF, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Intel, and Boeing at ASU. Prior to ASU, his research was supported by DARPA and NSF. Dr. Sarjoughian's professional engineering experience has been with Honeywell and IBM, spanning nearly five years. He has been integral to interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary national and international projects.
- Core research topics are on modeling theories, methodologies, and frameworks that can support the development of composable, heterogenous, multi-scale systems-of-systems.
- Specialized research areas are on poly-formalism modeling, hybrid simulation, agent-based modeling & simulation, collaborative model engineering, and executable software architecture.
- Application domain experiences include cyber-physical systems, accelerated network-on-chips, socio-environmental systems, enterprise supply-chain processes, control, and planning, cellular system biology, and service-oriented computing.
Sarjoughian has been leading and developing modeling and simulation frameworks and tools at ASU, including the flagship DEVS-Suite simulator, serving research and development at the science and engineering frontiers. His research has received four Technical Best-Paper Awards, two Runner-up Technical Best-Paper Awards, and the Best Poster Award at the 2020 Winter Simulation Conference. Sarjoughian has graduated more than sixty masters and doctoral students in Computer Science and Computer Engineering. He co-directs the Arizona Center for Integrative Modeling and Simulation.
He has published articles in SIMULATION: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation International, IEEE Access, IEEE Computer, IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory, IEEE Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing, Transactions on Services Computing, Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, Information Science, Future Generation Computer Systems, Journal of Simulation, Journal of Cybernetics and Systems, Multimedia Tools and Applications, PLOS ONE, Ecological Modeling, and Anthropcene.
