Short Bio

Dr. Ben Koo is a curriculum designer who has received a number of international honors. He has been a software engineer since 1990, developing scalable information systems for global enterprises in the manufacturing, telecommunications, supply chain analytics, and aerospace industries.

In 2002, he began his formal study of systems architecture at MIT under the guidance of Prof. Edward Crawley, where he developed an executable meta-language for automatically generating designs for human spaceflight mission plans and formalized this meta-language as an Algebra of Systems (AoS). In 2006, he began teaching at Beijing Tsinghua University and ultimately developed the Extreme Learning Process (XLP) as a data-intensive methodology for collaborative learning, a process that prepares students, teachers, and industry participants to capture the joint learning experience as a consensus-building procedure with publicly-observed data.

In a system engineering conference in Saint Paulo, Brazil, Dr. Koo met with Prof. John Cha and Prof. Shuo-Yan Chou and became close collaborators over the years. With Prof. Cha and Prof. Chou's support, XLP was deployed in many universities around Taiwan and China. Prof. Darong Lu, was the force that pushed through the ideals, political hurdles, and logistics details of integrated educational practice in a general university, such as Tsinghua.

In 2013, he began implementing blockchain technologies into classrooms to aid schools in conducting hackathons/design sprints (a.k.a. XLP) as credit-bearing courses for various degree programs and as an activity format for teacher training. Universities and secondary institutions in Taiwan, China, and a number of other nations have adopted XLP as a framework for interdisciplinary learning activities.

As an epistemological procedure for acquiring modern literacy, he also designed a three-tiered associate-degree curriculum beginning with Cognitive Foundation, Computational Thinking, and Industrial Frontier for interdisciplinary student teams who wish to systematically study with peers from different academic departments. Subsequently, he received numerous national, regional, and international educational innovation awards for his work, including the 2014 QS Reimagine Education Award and the 2015 UNESCO IITE Competition on the Use of ICT in Education.

Dr. Koo relocated to Bali at the end of 2019 and began developing the Personal Knowledge Container (PKC) to enable individuals and small organizations to participate in global workflows by leveraging computable resources (software packages, data services, networked computation) across the open-source community. Starting in 2022, Dr. Koo started to work with Dr. Satryo Brodjonegoro, president of the Indonesian Academy of Sciences, to initiate the initiative on Science of Governance during G20 events in Bali. Science of Governance through Self-Administered Data is an effort to use PKC as an open-source implementation reference to incorporate data-intensive technologies into the governance practices of organizations of all sizes. Dr. Koo believes that contemporary citizens must be adequately educated in political numeracy, have a set of socially and physically meaningful interfaces to publicly witnessed community data as the basis for decision/policy making, and continuously examine the constitutional code's logical integrity to prevent systematic information asymmetry in society. Under the support of Coordinating Minister Luhut Pandjaitan, Dr. Koo is assisting Prof. Yohanes Surya to roll out his GASing method, a nationwide math and science literacy program for the youth in Indonesia. The GASing program will use PKC as a trusted data platform to measure learning outcomes and safeguard the data sovereignty of individual participants. He is also collaborating with the IEEE Standards Association to incorporate the design intent of the legal framework Age-Appropriate Design Code (AADC) into the process architecture of the engineering and operational practices of PKC. Dr. Koo holds a bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, a master's in Industrial Engineering from the University of Minnesota, a master's degree in Systems Design and Management, and a doctorate in Engineering Systems from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
