Biography Prof. Joost Reyes Santos has joined The George Washington University as an assistant professor in the Department of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering in September 2009. He received his Ph.D. in systems and information engineering at the University of Virginia in 2003, with distinction (Louis T. Rader Outstanding Ph.D. Student). Following his Ph.D., Prof. Santos held a research assistant professor position at the University of Virginias Center for Risk Management of Engineering Systems. He has been involved in research projects that directly applied systems engineering and risk analysis methods in modeling and managing infrastructure system interoperability such as transportation and oil/gas process control systems. Results of his research activities and accomplishments are documented in at least 20 archived journal articles, including a highly-cited article on modeling system interdependencies that appeared in an issue of Risk Analysis in 2004. He won two best paper awards from the Society for Risk Analysis. He was also the 2009 recipient of the Leontief Memorial Prize from the International Input-Output Association. In 2009, he received a research grant from the National Science Foundation to pursue research on developing inventory policy models to minimize disaster impacts on interdependent sectors.
