報告人簡介:
Michael Beer is Professor and Head of the Institute for Risk and Reliability, Leibniz Universit?t Hannover, Germany, since 2015. He is also part time Professor at the University of Liverpool and at Tongji University, Shanghai, China. He obtained a doctoral degree from the Technische Universit?t Dresden and pursued post-doctoral research at Rice University, Houston, TX. From 2007 to 2011 Dr. Beer worked as an Assistant Professor at National University of Singapore. In 2011 he joined the University of Liverpool as Chair in Uncertainty in Engineering and Founding Director of the Institute for Risk and Uncertainty and established a large Doctoral Training Center on Quantification and Management of Risk & Uncertainty. Dr. Beer’s research is focused on uncertainty quantification in engineering. Specifically, he is working on models for epistemic uncertainty, such as imprecise probabilities, interval and fuzzy models, with emphasis on reliability analysis of engineering structures and systems. Dr. Beer is Editor in Chief (jointly) of the Encyclopedia of Earthquake Engineering, Associate Editor of the ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Associate Editor of the International Journal of Reliability and Safety, and Member of twelve Editorial Boards including Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics, Computers & Structures, Structural Safety, Mechanical Systems and Signal processing, and the International Journal of Computational Methods. He has won several awards including the CADLM PRIZE 2007 – Intelligent Optimal Design. His publications include a book, several monographs and a large number of journal and conference papers. He is a Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt-Foundation and Member of ASCE (EMI), ASME, IACM, ESRA, EASD, C(PS)2 of the Bernoulli Society, GACM, and GACCE.
