Dr. Kai Goebel is a Principal Scientist in the System Sciences Lab at Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). His interest is broadly in condition-based maintenance and systems health management for a broad spectrum of cyber-physical systems in the transportation, energy, aerospace, defense, and manufacturing sectors. Prior to joining PARC, Dr. Goebel worked at NASA Ames Research Center and General Electric Corporate Research & Development center. At NASA, he was a branch chief leading the Discovery and Systems Health tech area which included groups for machine learning, quantum computing, physics modeling, and diagnostics & prognostics. He founded and directed the Prognostics Center of Excellence which advanced our understanding of the fundamental aspects of prognostics. He holds 18 patents and has published more than 350 papers, including a book on Prognostics. Dr. Goebel was an adjunct professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and is now adjunct professor at Lulea Technical University. He is a co-founder of the Prognostics and Health Management Society, and associate editor of the International Journal of PHM. Peter Sandborn is a Professor in the CALCE Electronic Products and Systems Center and the Director of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute at the University of Maryland. Dr. Sandborn’s group develops life-cycle cost models and business case support for long field life systems. This work includes: obsolescence forecasting algorithms, strategic design refresh planning, lifetime buy quantity optimization, return on investment models for maintenance planning and system health management, and outcome-based contract design and optimization. Dr. Sandborn is the developer of the MOCA refresh planning tool. Dr. Sandborn is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Electronics Packaging Manufacturing and a member of the Board of Directors of the PHM Society. He is the author of over 200 technical publications and several books on electronic packaging and electronic systems cost analysis. He was the winner of the 2004 SOLE Proceedings, the 2006 Eugene L. Grant, the 2017 ASME Kos Ishii-Toshiba, and the 2018 Jacques S. Gansler awards. He has a B.S. degree in engineering physics from the University of Colorado, Boulder, in 1982, and the M.S. degree in electrical science and Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering, both from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1983 and 1987, respectively. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, the ASME and the PHM Society.
