Wester C.H. Schoonenberg is a Doctoral Research Assistant in the Laboratory for Intelligent Integrated Networks of Engineering Systems (LIINES), at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth. His research interests include Integrated Smart City Infrastructure Modeling, and Industrial Energy Management & Demand Response. Wester received his B.Sc. in 2014 from the department of Systems Engineering and Policy Analysis Management at Delft University of Technology, and joined the LIINES directly thereafter. Inas Khayal, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor at the Dartmouth Institute of Health Policy & Clinical Practice at the Geisel School of Medicine and Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science at Dartmouth College. Dr. Khayal is a highly interdisciplinary researcher focused on translational research towards improving chronic disease health outcomes. This began with her biomedical research within the clinic, focused on biological sensing in NeuroOncology and MR Imaging. Her work expanded to include Social and Environmental Sensing using Internet-of-Things enabled sensors outside the clinic and within ‘real-world’ living labs. Her work acts at the intersection of engineering, medicine, computer science and innovation to address the reality of the multi-level interconnected systems we live in. Her most recent work seeks to develop systems solutions that curb the growth of chronic disease by modeling, measuring, designing and implementing systems. Dr. Khayal earned her PhD in Bioengineering from both the University of California, Berkeley and the University of California, San Francisco, a BS in Biomedical Engineering from Boston University and completed the Management of Technology Program from the University of California, Berkeley, Haas School of Business. She holds several US, European, and International patents and is featured in the book Medicine by Design: The Practice and Promise of Biomedical Engineering by Fen Montaigne. She has also been selected as a 2017 Systems Science Scholar by AcademyHealth. She has served on the faculty in the departments of Medicine, Engineering and Computer Science. Prof. Amro M. Farid is currently an Associate Professor of Engineering at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth and Adjunct Associate Professor of computer science at the Department of Computer Science. He leads the Laboratory for Intelligent Integrated Networks of Engineering Systems (LIINES). The laboratory maintains an active research program in

He received his Sc. B. in 2000 and his Sc. M. 2002 from the MIT Mechanical Engineering Department. He went onto complete his Ph.D. degree at the Institute for Manufacturing within the University of Cambridge (UK) Engineering Department in 2007. He has varied industrial experiences from the automotive, semiconductor, defense, chemical, and manufacturing sectors. In 2010, he began his academic career as a visiting scholar at the MIT Technology Development Program. He is also a Research Affiliate at the MIT Mechanical Engineering Department and the U. of Massachusetts Transportation Research Center. He has made active contributions to the MIT-Masdar Institute Collaborative Initiative, the MIT Future of the Electricity Grid Study, and the IEEE Vision for Smart Grid Controls. He currently serves on the Executive Committee for the Council of Engineering Systems Universities (CESUN). He is a senior member of the IEEE and holds leadership positions in the IEEE Control Systems Society (CSS) Technical Committee on Smart Grids, and the IEEE Systems, Man & Cybernetics (SMC) Technical Committee on Intelligent Industrial Systems. He is also a member of the IEEE SMC Technical Committee on Distributed Intelligent Systems, the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society Technical Committee on Industrial Agents, and the ASME Dynamics Systems & Control Division.
