應伟德客户端分布式航天器系統技術研究所的邀請，1月14日下午2時，德國漢諾威萊布尼茲大學Michael Beer教授在宇航樓415會議室為伟德客户端師生做了題為“Uncertainty Quantification: Challenges and Approaches”的學術報告。報告由畢司峰老師主持，伟德客户端部分師生參加了此次交流活動。
此次報告中，Michael Beer教授，從一個宏觀的角度，進行了不确定分析這一學科的綜述彙報。主要講解了不确定分析的學科内容、在工程領域的應用和未來的發展方向，讓在場的師生們對不确定分析有了一個更加深入的了解。
報告結束後，參會師生均表示受益匪淺，并結合自身的研究方向提出了很多相關的問題，對于報告的内容進行深入交流，教授對大家所提問題逐一解答。此次報告拓寬了師生們的視野，拓展了師生們對于不确定分析的知識面，對于日後的科研工作有很大的幫助。
Michael Beer教授簡介：
Michael Beer is Professor and Head of the Institute for Risk and Reliability, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany, since 2015. He is also part time Professor at the University of Liverpool and at Tongji University, Shanghai, China. He obtained a doctoral degree from Technische Universität Dresden and pursued post-doctoral research at Rice University. From 2007 to 2011 Dr. Beer worked as an Assistant Professor at National University of Singapore. In 2011 he joined the University of Liverpool as Chair in Uncertainty in Engineering and Founding Director of the Institute for Risk and Uncertainty and established a large Doctoral Training Center on Quantification and Management of Risk & Uncertainty. Dr. Beer’s research is focused on uncertainty quantification in engineering with emphasis on imprecise probabilities. Dr. Beer is Editor in Chief (joint) of the Encyclopedia of Earthquake Engineering, Associate Editor of the ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Associate Editor of the International Journal of Reliability and Safety, and Member of thirteen Editorial Boards including Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics, Computers & Structures, Structural Safety, Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, and International Journal for Uncertainty Quantification. He has won several awards including the CADLM PRIZE 2007 – Intelligent Optimal Design and a Certificate for Highly Cited Research in Structural Safety. His publications include a book, several monographs and a large number of journal and conference papers. He is a Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt-Foundation, Chair of the C(PS)2 of the Bernoulli Society and Member of ASCE (EMI), ASME, IACM, ESRA, EASD, and GACM.
