Background
Dr Camelia is a Lecturer at SWAG合集鈥檚 Centre of Excellence for Complex Systems, with academic experience in the SWAG合集, Australia, Singapore, and Indonesia. Her expertise lies in systems thinking, systems engineering, and a wide range of systems methodologies that support the design, development, and management of complex systems.
Dr Camelia鈥檚 research focuses on sociotechnical approaches, system dynamics, systems engineering, and system architecture applied across diverse complex systems. Her current and recent projects include investigating sociotechnical aspects and system dynamics in air transport (ONEheart WP 1.3, Agile Wing Integration WP 1.2), developing open architectures for autonomous maritime systems (Rolls-Royce UTC in Aero System Design Integration and Performance, Activity 1010), and using wargaming to support strategic air transportation planning (Higher Education Innovation Fund (HEIF)). She has also explored the integration of emerging technologies鈥攕uch as Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, IoT, and Digital Twins鈥攊n future-oriented human resource management systems (Human Social Science Research Capability, HSSRC HS 1.013). Moreover, she led the development of a skills ontology for defence personnel management and designed decision-support tools to optimise the tracking and management of knowledge, skills, and experience within defence contexts (RCloud, Dstl). Her current research interests span model-based systems engineering, resilience and safety in systems, human-systems engineering, and the intersection of systems engineering with project management.
In her teaching role, Dr Camelia delivers modules on systems engineering across multiple MSc programmes, including Systems Engineering, Air Vehicle Design, Connected and Autonomous Vehicles, and Applied Artificial Intelligence. She also supervises both PhD and MSc students, providing guidance on their research and professional development.
Dr Camelia鈥檚 management experience includes leading research teams and organising interdisciplinary workshops and conferences to strengthen collaboration between academia and industry. Her work has involved building partnerships with research communities in Southeast Asia on the project A System of Systems Approach to Building Community Disaster Resilience: Cutting-Edge Technologies for Situational Awareness and Decision Support (Cranfield GCRF). She has also contributed to establishing a knowledge exchange hub for advancing research in future aviation security technologies, showcased at the GREET 鈥� Global Smart Security Network conference at DARTeC (HEIF). Furthermore, she has worked closely with rail industry partners to develop a research roadmap for integrating human factors into SWAG合集 rail development projects.
