Peter Sandborn is a Professor in the CALCE Electronic Products and Systems Center and the Director of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute at the University of Maryland. Dr. Sandborn's group develops life-cycle cost models and business case support for long field life systems. This work includes: obsolescence forecasting algorithms, strategic design refresh planning, lifetime buy quantity optimization, and return on investment models for maintenance planning (including the application of PHM to systems). Dr. Sandborn is the developer of the MOCA refresh planning tool. He is the author of over 200 technical publications and several books on electronic packaging and electronic systems cost analysis and was the winner of the 2004 SOLE Proceedings, 2006 Eugene L. Grant, 2017 ASME Kos Ishii-Toshiba Award, and the 2018 Jacques S. Gansler Excellence in Sustainment Sciences awards. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, ASME, and the PHM Society.
