Steering Committee
The Risk Center Steering Committee consists of elected members and is the strategic body of the Center.
The current five members of the Steering Committee include representatives from four different departments of the ETH Zurich.
Chairman
PROF. DR. GIOVANNI SANSAVINI
Reliability and Risk Engineering (D-MAVT)
Giovanni Sansavini analyzes reliability and risk issues in large-scale interdependent technical networks. He develops hybrid modeling and simulation approaches to quantify reliability and risk indicators and to engineer the safe planning and operations of such critical infrastructures.
Members
PROF. DR. ANTOINE BOMMIER
Integrative Risk Management and Economics (D-MTEC)
Antoine Bommier works on the economic analysis of interdependent risks and risks with long-term consequences. This involves the development of methods to analyze the cost of such risks and to initiate innovative strategies to mitigate them and develop efficient insurance schemes.
PROF. DR. PATRICK CHERIDITO
Mathematics (D-MATH)
Patrick Cheridito’s main research interest is the analysis of stochastic models and their applications to insurance mathematics, quantitative risk management, mathematical finance and economics.
PROF. DR. CHRISTOPH HÖLSCHER
Cognitive Science (D-GESS)
Christoph Hölscher studies the complex interactions of humans and their physical, technical and social environment with an emphasis on cognitive processes and task-oriented behavior.
PROF. DR. BOZIDAR STOJADINOVIC
Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (D-BAUG)
Bozidar Stojadinovic works on engineering the seismic risk of inhabited communities. This involves the development of probabilistic performance-based seismic design and evaluation methods applicable to individual structures as well as to interconnected sets of structures and infrastructure.
