Biography
Bryant Goodenough is a Research Engineer at Michigan Technological University’s Advanced
Power Systems Research Center (APS LABS). His work focuses on system-level modeling,
simulation, and analysis of electrified and hybrid powertrain systems, with an emphasis
on commercial and off-road vehicle applications. His doctoral research centered on
high-fidelity, multi-domain modeling of an electrified off-road material handler,
linking electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic subsystems to support architecture development
and evaluation and inform control strategies.
Bryant has also contributed to multiple vehicle programs involving thermal system
modeling, using simulation-driven methods to inform real-world system design decisions.
Bryant serves on the Powertrain Committee for SAE COMVEC, where he is a panel organizer
for the Powertrain Student Research Panel and has served as a paper reviewer for the
SAE International Journal of Commercial Vehicles.
