Dr. Pyster leads research on Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge, Systems Engineering Graduate Reference Curricula, Software Engineering Graduate Reference Curricula, and Systems Engineering Competency Models and Workforce Development. He is also the Deputy Executive Director of the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC), whose mission is to enhance and enable the Department of Defense’s (DoD) capability in Systems Engineering for the successful development, integration, testing and sustainability of complex defense systems, services and enterprises.
His professional and research activities emphasize systems and software engineering, especially the integration of those two disciplines and their application to enterprise operations. Currently, he is leading two international research projects. The first effort is creating a reference curriculum for graduate software engineering education. For more information, visit the Graduate Software Engineering 2009 (GSwE2009) support website. Notably, that reference curriculum explicitly integrates systems engineering into the education of software engineers. The second effort is creating a body of knowledge for systems engineering as well as a reference curriculum for graduate systems engineering education.
Dr. Pyster has authored many papers and one textbook – Compiler Design and Construction.
He is a Member and Fellow of the International Council on Systems Engineering, Senior Member in the Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), Member of the Association for Computing Machinery and Member of the National Defense Industrial Association.
Dr. Pyster has also received a multitude of awards and honors for his research contributions, including; 2006 SAIC CEO Award for Excellent Performance and High Potential, 2004 SAIC CEO Award for Excellent Performance, 2004 Department of Transportation Award for Advancing Information Systems Security, 2003 FAA Leadership in Process Improvement Award and the 1998 Distinguished Alumnus of Ohio State University College of Engineering. |
