Next SIPTA Seminar 25/3 (3pm Paris Time): Michael Beer on "Efficient reliability analysis with imprecise probabilities"

by sdesterc

Dear colleagues, We are delighted to announce our upcoming SIPTA online seminar on imprecise probabilities (IP). These monthly events are open to anyone interested in IP, and will be followed by a Q&A and open discussion. They also provide an occasion for the community to meet, keep in touch and exchange between in-person events. The next seminar will take place on the 25th of March (Tuesday). The zoom link for this seminar is https://utc-fr.zoom.us/j/81624342015 For this new seminar, we are very happy to have Michael Beer as our speaker. Since 2015, Micheal Beer is Full Professor and Head of the Institute for Risk and Reliability at Leibniz Universität Hannover. Michael Beer is a leading researcher and expert in reliability and risk analysis, as witness his 2022 Alfredo Ang Award on Risk Analysis and Management of Civil Infrastructure delivered by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). In particular, he has many important contributions on how to integrate imprecise probabilistic ideas within risk and reliability problems. On the 25th of March, at 15:00 paris time (up to 17:00, with a talk duration of 45min/1h), he will talk about "Efficient reliability analysis with imprecise probabilities”. Curious? Then check out the abstract on the webpage of the SIPTA seminars: sipta.org/events/sipta-seminars. The zoom link for attending the seminar can be found on that same page. So please mark your calendars on the 25th of March, and join us for the occasion. And for those who missed the previous seminar and want to catch up, or simply want to see it again and again, it is online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECs_3mfPz8M&t See you at the seminar!
