Welcome to the Risk Analysis and Reliability Engineering (RARE) Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh!
Our team is dedicated to advancing research in risk analysis and reliability engineering to support the development of safe and innovative engineering systems.
Our work emphasizes probabilistic risk assessment (PRA), reliability and maintainability analysis, uncertainty quantification, and decision analysis, leveraging advanced methodologies from AI, machine learning, physics-of-failure simulation, and human reliability analysis.
We focus on enhancing the reliability and safety of complex systems, particularly in the nuclear power and energy sectors. The RARE Lab is committed to advancing risk-informed decision-making and regulation for energy systems, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and shaping the next generation of experts through research and education.
