About
Raffi Tikidjian is a systems engineer whose work bridges model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and the programmatic management of complex space missions. His key research focuses on extending MBSE beyond traditional technical architecture development to encompass project programmatics—including cost, schedule, and risk management. His most notable contribution is the application of this integrated approach to NASA’s Asteroid Redirect Robotic Mission (ARRM), where he demonstrated how MBSE can simultaneously manage both engineering and programmatic activities. While his highly specialized work has garnered modest citation counts (his leading paper has 2 citations), its impact lies in its practical application to a flagship NASA mission, showcasing a novel methodology for streamlining systems engineering in large-scale space projects. Tikidjian’s research offers a valuable framework for future missions seeking to unify technical and managerial workflows, making him a key figure in advancing MBSE’s role in aerospace program management.
