Reaserch Interests:

Dr. Calvo-Amodio's research focuses on developing fundamental understanding of how to engineer and manage systemic change in organizations by combining engineering management, industrial engineering, and systems science. His research group works with Oregon’s industry and state agencies and NSF to derive fundamental theory and test how organizations can engineer and maintain systemic change under an action-research format.
