Graduate Assistantships available in 2010!
The NSERC-UNENE Industrial Research Chair program in Risk-Based
Life Cycle Management of Engineering Systems at the University of Waterloo has been funded
for a second five year term starting in September 1, 2009. The program is chaired
by Dr. Mahesh Pandey in the Department of Civil and
Environmental Engineering and involves
both interdisciplinary research within the university community,
as well as close collaboration with the major industrial
stakeholders and
other UNENE research chairs.
Graduate assistantships are available in 2010 for students with
specific interests in risk and reliability analysis,
life cycle management, and/or structural, materials & nuclear engineering.
Current research areas include:
- estimation of the life-time distribution of an asset
using inspection and surveillance data,
- optimum asset replacement/retirement scheduling,
- modelling of deterioration as a random process to
predict failure probability over time,
- derivation of information from a small sample of data,
- maintenance scheduling given the life-time distribution of
an asset, and
- cost-benefit analysis of risk management programs.
