Management of Uncertainty |
Dr Bill Fitzgerald |
Some of my research involves using a methodology based on statistical and signal processing techniques to predict low-probability-high-risk events. Corporations and governments are making risk decisions based on perceptions of such extreme events - frequently these decisions are taken with an inadequate framework. There are many applications for this type of approach from evaluating the risk of global warming and environmental changes to monitoring pollutants in air and water. Successful implementation of such a methodology will aid environmental management and planning. I have organised conferences and workshops in two major areas related to this research: non-linear signal processing and managing uncertainty. |
