Austin Lewis, Graduate Student

Austin Lewis is a first-year doctoral student in Dr. Groth’s lab. His research focuses on designing models of complex systems to efficiently and effectively provide diagnostic and prognostic capabilities. These tools will help operators train for worst-case scenarios by utilizing simulated data, particularly when there is limited data from actual events. He received his undergraduate degree from Stanford University in Chemical Engineering with honors in International Security Studies.

Previous to beginning his doctoral degree, he spent three years at the RAND Corporation, a non-profit global policy think tank. His work focused on logistics and acquisition policy in the defense sector, with an emphasis on the risk and reliability of defense programs.
