Title:
Risk Analysis and Management, COVID, and the Center for Risk Analysis Informed Decision Engineering

Abstract:
The Center for Risk Analysis Informed Engineering (RAIDE) is a new center at the University of Michigan with the goal of furthering risk analysis that informs improved decision through education, research, and practice. This seminar gives an overview of RAIDE and will highlight ongoing work being led by RAIDE to develop a risk informed approach to planning for the Fall 2022 semester given the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dean Alec Gallimore will be joining the seminar as a special guest to provide a perspective from senior leadership on this risk-informed approach to planning.
