Research summary
AI-generated

Ali K. Raz works on systems engineering for complex, interconnected technical systems, especially 'systems of systems' where multiple autonomous or uncrewed vehicles (like drones) need to work together. His research combines methods for designing and testing these large systems with topics like sensor data fusion, autonomy, reinforcement learning, and explainable AI to help evaluate whether automated decision-making is trustworthy and reliable. Much of the work is applied to aerospace and defense-related contexts, such as tracking aerial threats or coordinating uncrewed aerial vehicles.

Publication output has been fairly steady over the last decade, rising from a low base around 2017-2018 to a consistent 7-12 papers per year between 2021 and 2024, with 2025 data likely incomplete.
