TITLES Chair, Department of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering. BIOGRAPHY Professor Mazzuchi is a Research Associate at the Institute for
Reliability and Risk Analysis, and has been engaged in consulting and
research in the area of reliability, risk analysis, and quality control for
over ten years. Recently, he served for two and a half years as a research
mathematician at the international operations and process research laboratory
of the Royal Dutch Shell Company. While at Shell, Dr. Mazzuchi was involved
with reliability and safety analysis of large processing systems, maintenance
optimization of off-shore platforms and quality control procedures at large
scale chemical plants. He has held research contracts in development of
testing procedures for both the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army and also
with the U.S. Postal Service on spares provisioning modeling and with various
other organizations on topics of maritime safety and risk assessment. Dr.
Mazzuchi's research interests are in Bayesian applications in reliability,
risk analysis, and quality control problems. Current research interests
include reliability growth assessment, software reliability modeling, design
and inference in life testing, reliability estimation as a function of
operating environment, maintenance inspection policies, and incorporation of
expert judgment into reliability and risk analysis. RESEARCH INTERESTS Specialty areas: reliability analysis, quality control, decision
and risk analysis, applied statistics, Bayesian inference. SELECTED PAPERS 1998 -"Bayesian computations for reliability growth
