Motivated by this formidable push towards ever more complex system s of all sizes\, spectacular failures\, and decades of questioning in a v ariety of contexts and endeavors\, this talk hypothesizes a theory of com plex systems engineering\, that is\, a scientific theory in which an engi neered system can be seen as a un-invalidated scientific hypothesis arisi ng from a convergent mix of rigorous mathematical and validated experimen tal constructs. In its simplest form\, it is a manufactured\, un-invalida ted scientific hypothesis arising from a mathematical theorem similar to those found in mathematical physics. The talk begins with the scientific hypothesis underlying this theory\, and arguments in favor of it are disp layed\, as well as some of its practical consequences in terms of complex system design and future research. Then\, a limited set of experiments i s presented to try and invalidate the theory by confronting it to existin g educational programs in systems engineering in the United States of Ame rica. Concurrent with these invalidation efforts\, this talk also argues that there is a serious and growing lack of education in mathematics and/ or engineering science in most\, if not all\, engineering programs. Such weaknesses challenge the industrial value of all corporate or government institutions who are in the pursuit of complex engineered systems excelle nce.\n\nBiography\nEric Feron is a Professor of Biological\, Electrical\, Computer\, and Mechanical Engineering at King Abdullah University of Sci ence and Technology\, where he co-directs the Robotics\, Intelligent Syst ems\, and Control laboratory (RISClab). Eric has had appointments with E cole Nationale de l'Aviation Civile\, France\; the Georgia Institute of T echnology\, USA\; the Institut Supérieur de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace \, Sup'Aéro campus\, France\; the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, USA\; and the Office National d'Etudes et Recherches Aérospatiales\, Fra nce. Eric Feron trained as a naval officer of the watch on nuclear submar ines (France)\, and as a private pilot (USA). Feron's research focuses on leveraging his knowledge of and contributions to control theory\, comput er science\, and optimization to address problems having to do with auton omy\, robotic agility\, transportation\, and other complex systems-level challenges.

Poly(ester urea)s (PEUs) are a class of amorphous\, highly tunable\, and resorbable polymers that can cover a large window of mechanical and physical properties. By focusing on a biologically compatible material th at is based on naturally occurring amino acids\, we can combat adverse si de effects\, such as inflammation\, commonly associated with other polyme ric devices on the market. In this work\, we synthesized and thoroughly c haracterized a diverse library of PEUs and performed further testing in v ivo with a select subset to monitor their breakdown. We were able to iden tify trends in degradation based on water uptake profiles. This could ult imately assist in improved and informed biomaterial selection moving forw ard.\nAdditionally\, a direct application was explored with PEUs for the delivery of antibiotics. Bacterial infections pose a large threat in the clinic that can lead to repeated invasive surgeries and even patient mort ality. Therefore\, designing a biodegradable pouch that provides controll ed site-specific therapy is of great interest. Our formulation focuses on the dual release of minocycline and rifampin which are combined with the polymer matrix itself. Herein\, we experiment with a valine and phenylal anine PEU copolymer. Our results demonstrate that the drug-loaded\, elect rospun nanofiber mats are effective against various strains of staphyloco cci species in vitro and can completely eradicate S. aureus after 14 days in a rabbit model. This part of the research highlights our PEU device a s a promising candidate for preventing infections.
