SHORT BIOGRAPHY

Brian Goldiez, PhD, is a Program Manager at the Virginia Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis Center (VMASC) at Old Dominion University based in Orlando, Florida. He has over 40 years of experience in modeling and simulation working in government, industry, and academia. Goldiez experience has also spanned the range of fundamental research through simulator development. He was the University of Central Florida’s first recipient of a Ph.D. in Modeling and Simulation. He also has an MS in Computer Engineering from UCF and a BS in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Kansas. Goldiez has led a number of research initiatives in modeling and simulation in areas such as interoperability, healthcare, software engineering, augmented reality, introduction of PC-based graphics systems, use of high performance computing, and performance assessments of users using analytical methods. He has also directed large, multi-discipline project teams and organizations.
