About
Lichen Zhang is a leading researcher in the engineering of complex, large-scale systems, with a primary focus on **Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)** and **System of Systems (SoS)** engineering. His work addresses the critical challenge of designing systems where physical components, computational elements, and human users are deeply intertwined. A major contribution is his pioneering approach to integrating **Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)** with formal specification methods, as exemplified in his highly cited 2018 paper on the "Specification and Design of Cyber Physical Systems Based on System of Systems Engineering Approach" (19 citations). This work provides a foundational framework for managing the emergent behaviors and distributed nature of modern smart systems. Zhang further advances the field by exploring the use of **ModelicaML** for modeling smart CPS, enabling more rigorous simulation and analysis. His research is instrumental in moving CPS design from ad-hoc practices to disciplined, model-driven engineering, directly impacting the development of smart cities, intelligent transportation, and industrial automation. Through his focus on formal methods and SoS principles, Zhang is shaping the future of how we build the world's most complex and interconnected systems.
