Jordan Kyriakidis - Engineered systems analysis, testing, validation and verification
Jordan is the cofounder and CEO of QRA Corp., a technology company developing advanced software tools for early-stage validation and verification of engineered systems. Jordan is also a professor and the head of the Quantum Theory Group at Dalhousie University where he has led and managed an integrated team of students, researchers, software developers, and administrators since 2002. Jordan has developed ties to the aerospace industry, working with Lockheed Martin Aeronautics for the past five years on contracts investigating the use of quantum technologies in industry and solving problems in cyber-physical verification and validation. He has a PhD, summa cum laude, in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics and Quantum Magnetism from the University of Basel.

Modern engineered systems with embedded and networked intelligence are providing unprecedented levels of capability and opportunity. Alongside, the complexity and development costs of these systems are increasing, becoming drivers for earlier and more rigorous testing to detect errors before these lead to costly and possibly catastrophic outcomes.
Integrations errors are often not attributable to any one system component, or even a collection of system components. Rather, they manifest themselves in the interaction of multiple systems. In this presentation I will speak about such scenarios in industry and outline the trends in early-stage integration testing to address this complexity.
Key message: Time to rethink current technology development processes and shift rigorous integration testing to the design stage.
Who will benefit?: System developers and integrators in the aerospace, automotive, defense, ICT, power systems, medical technology, and advanced manufacturing industries.
What are the benefits?: Reduce development costs and time to market. Increase confidence in engineered systems and processes. Meet consumer and regulator expectations.
