Dr. Borsuk’s research concerns the development and application of mathematical models for integrating scientific information on natural, technical, and social systems. He is a widely-cited expert in Bayesian network modeling with regular application to environmental and human health risk assessment and decision making. He is also the originator of novel approaches to climate change assessment, combining risk analysis, game theory, and agent-based modeling. Borsuk’s highly collaborative research has been funded by NSF, EPA, NIH, NIEHS, USFS, and DoD, and he has authored or co-authored over 90 peer-reviewed journal publications and 8 reports and book chapters. Before joining Duke, Borsuk was on the engineering faculty at Dartmouth College for ten years. Prior to Dartmouth, he worked at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (EAWAG), where he advanced to head of the Decision Analysis and Integrated Assessment group. Borsuk co-directs the Duke Center on Risk, a new interdisciplinary research and teaching initiative focused on improving society’s capacity to analyze, anticipate, mitigate, and adapt to the complex and interconnected risks of the contemporary world.
