Active in both theoretical development and applications in the fields of reliability and uncertainty analysis continuously since 1977. Research emphasis is on developing techniques for the analysis and control of uncertainty throughout the system life-cycle. Currently developing new methods to characterize the aging process of mechanical and electrical components.
