Diego R. Tamburini, PhD Research Engineer II Products and Systems Lifecycle Management (PSLM) Center Georgia Institute of Technology

Dr. Tamburini is a Research Engineer in the Products and Systems Lifecycle Management (PSLM) Center and Manufacturing Research Center at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research focus is in software infrastructures for integrated collaborative engineering, and the underlying knowledge representations and interoperability technologies to enable them. He is currently working on the design and development of the next-generation Composable Objects (COB) platform. Dr. Tamburini comes to Georgia Tech from the Microsoft Corporation, where he was the Technical Program Manager for the Engineering and Manufacturing Ecosystem, managing the technical relationship between Microsoft and the Independent Software Vendors in the CAD/CAE/PLM and Industrial Automation spaces. Prior to Microsoft, he worked at UGS (formerly SDRC) as a Principal PLM Implementation Engineer, helping large customers such as Boeing and Goodrich Aerospace implement UGS’ PLM system (known as Metaphase at that time). He received is PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Tech in 1999. His doctoral research was in design-analysis integration, where he developed the Analyzable Product Model (APM) representation, a new representation of engineering products aimed at facilitating design-analysis integration. This representation is based on constrained objects and object-oriented concepts - that defines formal, generic, computer-interpretable constructs to create and manipulate analysis-oriented views of engineering parts or products, leveraging engineering data exchange standards (such as ISO STEP). During this work, Dr. Tamburini developed some of the seminal techniques and algorithms currently used in Georgia Tech’s COB-based tools. Dr. Tamburini is a member of ASME and SME. He is a Co-Chair of the ASME CIE Engineering Information Management Technical Committee, and represents Georgia Tech at the SysML Submission Team, the Next-Generation Manufacturing Technology/Model-Based Enterprise Initiative, and PDES Inc.’s Mechatronics Interoperability Project for Systems.
