Peter Ayton, associate dean research & deputy dean social sciences at City University of London, discusses the psychological influences on risk and risk perceptions.

Hiba Baroud, PhD, professor of civil engineering and environmental engineering at Vanderbilt University, and Andrea Staid, PhD, senior technical staff member at Sandia National Laboratories, discuss short and long term solutions to making our country's power systems more resilient, especially as extreme weather events become more severe.

Robert Goble, PhD, research professor of environment, technology and society at Clark University, discusses what belongs, and doesn't belong, in a risk assessment. Goble argues that the choice of boundaries is a foundational and practical concern and something that constantly requires revisiting.

Seth Guikema, PhD, professor of industrial & operations engineering and civil & environmental engineering at the University of Michigan and Giovanni Sansavini, PhD, professor of reliability and risk engineering at the University ETH Zurich, discuss infrastructure management and anti-fragility. Their research shows that disasters can be an opportunity for infrastructure systems to improve.

Joe Arvai, PhD, professor of sustainable enterprise and director of the Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise at the University of Michigan, and Robyn Wilson, PhD, associate professor of risk analysis and decision science at the Ohio State University discuss their interactions with the EPA and new regulations impacting the Science Advisory Board.

Lukasz Bratasz, PhD, head of the Sustainable Conservation Lab at Yale University, and Barbara Swiatkowska, from the National Museum in Krakow, Poland, discuss risk analysis in relation to the preservation of cultural heritage.

Hiba Baroud, PhD, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Vanderbilt University, discusses resilience in the context of risk analysis, including reconfiguration on systems, anti-fragility, vulnerability, modeling and assessments.

Roshanak Nateghi, PhD, professor of industrial engineering at Purdue University, and Seth Guikema, PhD, professor of industrial & operations engineering and civil & environmental engineering at the University of Michigan, discuss harnessing data driven risk analytics and predictive modeling with regard to weather extremes, climate change and the resiliency of critical infrastructure.
