I am also excited to continue pursuing learning opportunities outside the classroom. I have been attending the system thinking workshops with Professor Crawley and the meetings of the Global Teamwork Lab with Professor Moser. These meetings have given me inspiration for possible future research topics. For example, AeroAstro PhD Candidate Kir Latyshev and I have had a couple discussions about the most basic fundamentals of systems that have inspired me to think more about how to apply category theory to the ideas of system architecture and design. Being able to study in the Master’s program would give me more avenues to turn these explorations into more formal research.
