An additional emphasis will be on the data-driven approach to smart algorithms applied to risk modelling and management. After taking this course, students should be able to demonstrate that they can identify and formulate a risk analysis problem with quantitative methods in a particular field.
ContentThe course covers the following areas:
1. Fundamentals of Risk Modelling: Probability, Uncertainty, Vulnerability, Decision-Making under Uncertainty
