Dr. Cihan Dagli, professor of engineering management and systems engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology has been recognized with the Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) award at the 2025 CAS conference, hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) earlier this month.  

“It’s an honor to receive this award,” Dagli says. “I’m thankful for MIT and the CAS community for continuing this important work that helps solve today’s most complex challenges.” 

Dagli founded CAS in 2011 with the vision of adaptive autonomous systems that will shape society overall through industries such as manufacturing, defense and health care.  

Dagli created a research community and enabled new research directions. He was chair or co-chair of 10 conferences until 2021. 

“MIT has recognized all of these when they agreed to help CAS 2025 on their campus this year. That is the reason for my award,” he says. “They recognized the fact that a decade-old vision helped where we are today.”
