About
We are surrounded by monuments of our success. For that great monument to Complex Systems - the foundation has been laid. The analysis of Risks has never before been more important for engineers and managers than in today’s world marked by complexities and rapid innovation. And the many failed attempts to build Complex Systems have provided plenty of hard-earned lessons for those who are willing to learn.
I have taken the task to be a custodian of these hard-earned lessons in Complex Systems; a purveyor of
future’s innovative solutions to today’s emerging Risks; a bridge between those who came before me and
those who will follow.
I am currently a faculty, Fulbright awardee, innovator, author, research director, and mentor in the Department of Cybersecurity at University at Albany SUNY. Previously, I was at Old Dominion University, a visiting scientist at FM Global, a research fellow at the Software Industry Center at Carnegie Mellon University, and at the Center for Risk Management of Engineering Systems at the University of Virginia.
My interests are in Risk management in engineered systems, including cyber systems, project risk management, risk valuation, risk communication, analysis of extreme-and-rare events, and decision-making under uncertainty. I earned my doctorate degree in Systems Engineering from the University of Virginia and master and bachelor degrees in Industrial Engineering from the University of the Philippines.
I have written text books, journal articles, and presented numerous times in the subject of Risk for both academics and practitioners.
