Reliability and Risk Engineering

Engineered complex systems such as energy, communication and transport networks provide crucial services to our society. Our research aims to identify and mitigate systemic risks in interdependent critical infrastructure networks by quantitatively defining reliability, vulnerability and risk within these systems. With our modelling, we strive to inform policymakers in the transition to resilient, fair and sustainable energy and critical infrastructure systems. Our methods encompass hybrid analytical and computational tools for analyzing failure behavior of engineered complex systems, models for the planning and operation of resilient multi-energy systems, and data-driven approaches for understanding physical infrastructure evolution of real systems.
