Dr. Mostashari is the director of the newly created Center for Complex Adaptive Sociotechnological Systems (COMPASS). The center brings together researchers from across disciplines – from systems engineering, complex systems analysis, infrastructure systems and mathematics – to design infrastructure that is resilient, sustainable and adaptive, in sectors such as transportation, energy, telecommunications, health care and enterprise systems.
His research includes analysis and design of complex sociotechnological systems such as the cognitive/smart power grid, transportation and energy infrastructure systems and social/organizational systems. He serves as the Co-Chair of the Global Conference on Systems and Enterprises and is a member of International Council for Systems Engineering (INCOSE), the American Association of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) and the International Network of Social Network Analysis (INSNA).
From 2004-2008, Dr. Mostashari served as a strategic advisor to the Assistant Secretary General for Africa at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). He lead an oversight and performance management function for over $1.1 billion in annual development project portfolio in Africa and played a key role on various strategic initiatives at UNDP, including the Strategic Plan 2008-2011, the Enterprise Risk Management initiative, the Results-Based Management working group, the Balanced Scorecard working group and many others.
During his tenure at Steven, Dr. Mostashari has served as a Principal and co-Principal investigator on major research grants related to port infrastructure resilience and agile systems engineering concept of operations. He is the author of 25 peer reviewed journal and conference papers and has authored or co-authored published and forthcoming books on Stakeholder-Assisted Modeling of Complex Sociotechnical Systems, Science of Sociotechnical Networks and Critical Infrastructure Resilience. He has contributed multiple book chapters on various aspects of complex systems, sustainable development, energy and environment.
