At MIT, Moser is Academic Director of System Design & Management (SDM) and Senior Lecturer in both the Engineering School and the Sloan School of Management. In SDM he is responsible for academic strategy including curriculum development and the quality of teaching and research. He leads the teaching of the SDM core classes and teaches two advanced subjects on engineering teamwork research and agent-based modeling of sociotechnical systems. He also teaches engineering project management and teamwork to undergraduates at MIT in the Gordon Engineering Leadership (GEL) program and as adjunct faculty in the Aerospace and Engineering Department at Virginia Tech.

In Japan, Moser is Sr. Researcher in the MODE initiative (Maritime and Ocean Digital Engineering) at the University of Tokyo, a Visiting Sr. Researcher to JAMSTEC (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology) and a Visiting Professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology.

Moser received two degrees from MIT:  a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering in 1987 and a Master of Science in Technology and Policy in 1989. His doctorate in 2012 is from the University of Tokyo, Graduate School of Frontier Sciences.

Prior to returning to MIT in 2014, he worked for 25 years in industry; as a research engineer at the Basic Science Lab (A.I.) of Nissan Motor Company, as a Sr. Research Scientist at United Technologies Corporation, and as founder and CEO of GPD, the maker of the TeamPort platform for model-based project management.

Bryan focuses on teamwork for complex systems problems and use of model-based methods to improve engagement and performance of diverse teams.  He has applied model-building, agent-based simulation, interactive design, and instrumentation of teamwork to challenges in new product development, urban planning, R&D, infrastructure, and sustainability. He leads the Global Teamwork Lab (GTL).
