Dr. Russell S. Peak, Chief Technical Officer, is Associate Director and Senior Researcher in the GIT Product & Systems Lifecycle Management Center. He specializes in knowledge-based methods for modeling & simulation, standards-based product lifecycle management (PLM) frameworks, and knowledge representations that enable complex system interoperability. Dr. Peak originated the multi-representation architecture (MRA)—a collection of patterns for CAD-CAE interoperability—and composable objects (COBs)—a non-causal object-oriented knowledge representation. This work provided a key conceptual foundation for executable parametrics in SysML. Since 1997 he has been principal investigator on ~25 projects with sponsors including Boeing, IBM, Lockheed, NASA, Rockwell Collins, Sandia, Shinko (Japan), TRW Automotive, US DoC (NIST) and DoD. He has authored over 80 publications (including several Best Paper awards), holds several patents, and is an active member in ASME and INCOSE.
