Katrina Groth Associate Professor 301-405-5215 | kgroth@umd.edu Profile

The SyRRA lab conducts innovative research in risk and reliability modeling and simulation methods for analysis of complex engineering systems. Researchers in the lab combines advanced computational techniques, diverse types of data and information, with system-level thinking. We use Bayesian methods, machine learning, and causal models to fuse sparse data, big data, and qualitative information from multiple sources into models that support decisions and prediction under uncertainty. Our research contributes to the fields of safety, risk and reliability from both a mathematical perspective and from an applied perspective, with direct impact on systems ranging from hydrogen gas stations and infrastructure to nuclear power plants, natural gas transportation, pipelines, aviation, and more.
