Engineering Risk Management and Decision Analysis

Professor Paté-Cornell's current research uses risk analysis, probability, and decision theory to integrate organizational factors into assessments of the reliability of the final product or service, and to allow efficient and cost-effective risk management in industry, and in government regulations. Recent applications: NASA space shuttle, management of unmanned space programs, offshore platforms, marine pipelines, anesthesia in hospitals. Also: characterization of risk uncertainties and implications for risk ranking and management.
