Systems Modeling and Analysis. Systems Modeling and Analysis. The best way to understand Systems Modeling is to consider examples drawn from the research that is performed by the faculty proposing the program. Edward Boone studies streams and rivers and the populations of fish and other life that lives in them. Jason Merrick studies the risk of accidents in a port and how it is influenced by the traffic patterns, weather, currents, and human errors. Congratulations Shushan "Nika" Lazaryan!
