关于我们
The Center for Risk and Reliability (CRR) was formed in 1985 as the umbrella organization for many of the risk and reliability research and development activities at the UMD Clark School of Engineering. CRR research covers a wide range of subjects involving systems and processes, and include topics on predictive reliability and human reliability analysis methods, advanced probabilistic inference methods, system-level health monitoring and prognostics, risk analysis theory and applications to complex systems such as space missions, civil aviation, nuclear power plants, petro-chemical installations, medical devices, information systems, and civil infrastructures. Over 20 core and adjunct faculty from various engineering departments of the Clark School of Engineering form the pool of experts at CRR. CRR is also home to numerous research laboratories with extensive state-of-the-art equipment and high performance computers. CRR is the research arm of the Reliability Engineering educational program, one of the largest and most comprehensive degree granting graduate programs in the field of reliability and risk analysis of engineered systems and processes. The program offers the MS, PhD, and Graduate Certificate in Reliability Engineering and Risk Analysis. All courses are available through both traditional on-campus and online delivery modes. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, CRR is under the administrative umbrella of the Dean of the A.J. Clark School of Engineering. The Center is administratively supported by the Mechanical Engineering Department, the home department for its current full-time core faculty. The Center Director is appointed by the Dean for a 5 year term and is a member of the Dean's Administrative Council composed of the College of Engineering Chairs and Directors.

This past week, three three students from the Reliability Engineering Program—Samantha Wismer, Camille Levine, and Victoriia Grabovestska—proudly represented the University of Maryland Center for Risk and Reliability by serving as judges at the Prince George’s Area Science Fair (PGASF). Their expertise and dedication to advancing science and technology shined as they evaluated innovative projects from local middle and high school students. At the end of the event, they were awarded with Special Judging Awards on behalf of the American Nuclear Society (ANS). We are incredibly proud of their contributions and look forward to seeing how they continue to make an impact in the STEM community!

The Center for Risk and Reliability (CRR) recently had the pleasure of hosting stakeholders from Kyushu University, AIST (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), and the Fukushima Institute for Education and Innovation. The visit fostered meaningful discussions on ongoing collaborative projects, including the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Reliability Database initiative. A key highlight of the visit was the exploration of collaborative opportunities between UMD and Kyushu University. This potential partnership would strengthen collaborative efforts on hydrogen-related research and student exchanges. The discussions also touched on international hydrogen measurement standards and testing protocols, including insights into hydrogen station evaluations conducted in California relevant to AIST and Japanese standards. This visit marks a significant step toward expanding global research collaborations, reinforcing UMD’s commitment to advancing reliability engineering and fostering innovation in hydrogen technologies. #ReliabilityEngineering #HydrogenResearch #GlobalCollaboration #InnovationInEnergy #HydrogenTechnology #EnergyInnovation #UMDResearch #KyushuUniversity #AIST #FukushimaInstitute #DOEInitiative #InternationalPartnerships #ResearchCollaboration #STEMInnovation #AcademicExchanges #GlobalResearch #CRR #UMDEngineering #UMDReliabilityEngineering

?? Exploring Advanced Risk Assessment for Small Modular Reactors (iSMR) ?? This week, the Center for Risk and Reliability (CRR) had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Gyunyoung Heo, Professor of Nuclear Engineering at Kyung Hee University, as part of our CDR/CRR seminar series. Dr. Heo’s presentation, "Status of PSA Research for Small Modular Reactors in Korea: Application of Dynamic Event Trees and Evacuation Simulation," provided valuable insights into the ongoing risk assessment efforts for iSMR—a government-supported national project in the Republic of Korea. His talk highlighted key technical challenges in assessing iSMR’s safety features as it prepares to apply for standard design approval by the end of 2025. Dr. Heo discussed advanced methodologies such as dynamic event trees and evacuation simulations, addressing critical issues like: ? Reliability analysis of passive systems ? Scenario development for multi-module operation ? Radiological emergency preparedness near demand sites Thank you Dr. Heo for coming to present at our seminar and sharing your expertise and contributing to the conversation on advancing nuclear safety and reliability. #UMD #CRR #NuclearEngineering #RiskAssessment #UMDReliabilityEngineering #UMDCRR #ReliabilityEngineering #UMDReliabilityEngineering

We are excited to share that Dr. Katrina Groth has been featured in the latest issue of Electrical Apparatus magazine! In this insightful piece written by Maura Keller, Dr. Groth dives into the ongoing debate between hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs), offering her expert perspective on the future of sustainable transportation. Dr. Groth discusses the latest advancements in electric vehicle (EV) technology and how these innovations are reshaping the automotive industry. Drawing from her extensive research, she examines how FCEVs compare to BEVs, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges associated with each technology. Her analysis sheds light on critical factors such as energy efficiency, infrastructure requirements, and environmental impact. One key takeaway from Dr. Groth's discussion is the potential of hydrogen fuel cells to complement battery electric technology. While BEVs currently lead the market, FCEVs present unique advantages for long-range travel and faster refueling times.

New research alert -- developments in multi-objective optimization from a collaboration with Shapour Azarm’s lab! We are developing algorithms to improve maintenance decisions for autonomous vehicles, enabling more resilient, reliable unmanned surface vessels. Our recent study introduces a novel scenario generation method designed to tackle Multi-Objective Robust Optimization (MORO) challenges. Our work effectively addresses uncertainties, aiming to enhance both the convergence and diversity of Pareto solutions. By integrating advanced sampling techniques, this method offers a promising avenue for robust and efficient optimization outcomes. We demonstrate the approach with a case study on unmanned surface vessels. ? Authors: Elizabeth Jordan, Arko C., Ruochen Yang, Shapour Azarm UMD Center for Risk and Reliability and UMD Department of Mechanical Engineering. ?

Dependency modeling techniques have been an important problem in Human Reliability Analysis lately, and several new articles I wrote with my former student, Prof. Vincent Paglioni, Ph.D. at Colorado State University offer new insights into defining and modeling dependency. Dr. Paglioni and I published a series of articles over the past year, starting with “Dependency idioms for quantitative human reliability analysis” in which we introduce a set of HRA dependency idioms that describe fundamental patterns in relationships among HRA variables that cause what we call dependency. The idioms conceptualize and model HRA dependency in an objective, traceable, and causally informed manner that facilitates data-based quantification of HRA dependency. This research was enabled by a university research grant from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to advance the science of nuclear safety and develop skilled engineers capable of supporting the design, construction, operation, and regulation of nuclear facilities and the safe handling of nuclear material. #humanreliabilityanalysis #hra #nuclearsafety #humanfailure #humanerror #nuclearengineering https://lnkd.in/e8GQww-R
