Risk Institute Director to Give Talk at City University of Hong Kong

Dr. Ali Mosleh, Garrick Institute for the Risk Sciences director, will give a talk on, “Risk Sciences, an Overview of Theoretical Foundations and Two Recent Applications” at the City University of Hong Kong on Thursday, January 18, 2024 at 5:30pm PT (Friday, January 19, 2024 at 9:30am Hong Kong Time).

Abstract: Methods and applications of risk analysis have gone through more than 50 years of evolution and advancement, and currently enjoy wide acceptance in many fields of science, technology, policy, and planning. Over the past two decades significant progress has been made in formalization of the foundational theories and introduction of advanced techniques for more comprehensive quantitative risk assessments and more effective support for risk-informed decision making. These advancements are seen in all sub-disciplines of risk sciences including reliability engineering, system safety, cyber-physical system security, and resilience engineering. The talk will offer an overview of the discipline and two recent applications: Wildfire risk management of California electric power network, and COVID-19 risk-informed mitigation decision support.
