Welcome!

Thank you for visiting the Systems Engineering and
Global Policy research group.

Our team of global policy professionals use systems engineering methodologies and techniques for solving complex, urgent, and high-impact global challenges that cross policy domains, geographic, political, and sectoral boundaries.

This innovative, interdisciplinary, and policy-oriented research is used by governments, industry, and NGOs to better understand contemporary global policy questions ranging from climate change to international security policy.
