MANAGING UNARTICULATED VALUE: CHANGEABILITY IN MULTIATTRIBUTE TRADESPACE EXPLORATION

While not interacting with these faculty members as often as my advisor, Professors Olivier de Weck, Deborah Nightingale, and Thomas Allen were incredibly influential guiding my intellectual growth. Each member was selected to be on my doctoral committee because of their perspectives joining aerospace with fields of my professional interest. Professor de Weck brought his experience with technical optimization techniques, especially multi-dimensional
optimization and numerical exploration of space system design concepts. Professor Nightingale .brought her experience with the Lean Aerospace Initiative, including perspective and priorities of industry and government, which are often forgotten or neglected in academia, yet are keenly relevant for having impact. Professor Allen brought his experience with social interaction research and managerial psychology, representing the human side of the aerospace design problem. Thank you all for your guidance and perspectives; you have helped me to recognize the value of my work and how to view the world from new context perspectives. Though not a member of my committee per se, Dr. Donna Rhodes provided invaluable feedback and support, both professional and personal throughout the doctoral effort. Thank you for your insights and friendship.
