DESCRIPTION:Designing large-scale\, complex systems has been a challenging 
 task\, particularly in the predictive context of life cycle. Key challenge
 s arise in various stages of system’s life cycle—pre-life\, usage life
 \, and end-of-life—where massive-scale data is generated and captured fr
 om complex systems design\, operations\, and disposal. Green Profit Design
 —a new term coined by Professor Kim’s team—shows that there is a str
 ong link between sustainable product design\, user-generated contents in t
 he social network service\, and corporate profit generation. Green Profit 
 Design has been shown to be successful in designing optimal\, sustainable 
 product portfolio by use of engineering design optimization and knowledge 
 discovery for user preference capture. In this presentation\, the speaker 
 will present a summary of the new research directions based on the recent 
 findings from the projects sponsored by the National Science Foundation an
 d Deere and Co.—green\, sustainable design and recovery\; sustainable pr
 oduct family design and recovery\; trend mining design for product portfol
 io.\n\n \n\nBio\nHarrison Kim is a professor in the Department of Industri
 al and Enterprise Systems Engineering and Donald Biggar Willett Faculty Sc
 holar at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Kim’s re
 search focuses on a variety of areas of complex systems design and sustain
 ability. Kim's current research topics are renewable\, hybrid energy conve
 rsion and distribution\; user-centered sustainable product design\; produc
 t design analytics\; multidisciplinary\, multilevel optimization\; green p
 roduct portfolio design. Application areas are energy\, automotive\, consu
 mer electronics\, heavy-duty equipment\, national security\, commercial/mi
 litary system of systems\, and information technology.\n\nDr. Kim has rece
 ived numerous recognitions including the National Science Foundation's CAR
 EER Award\, Dean’s Award in Excellence in Research\, Best Paper Award in
  ASME Design for Manufacturing and Life Cycle Conference\, and news media 
 coverage in the USA Today and the Chicago Tribune. Harrison Kim earned his
  Ph.D. degree at the University of Michigan in 2001 in the area of Enginee
 ring System Design and Optimization in Mechanical Engineering under the su
 pervision of Professor Panos Papalambros. He joined the University of Illi
 nois in 2005 after business-IT consulting experience and postdoctoral trai
 ning under Professor Wei Chen at Northwestern University and has been lead
 ing the Enterprise Systems Optimization Lab.
