The RSUQ chair at the ICOSSAR 2025
Bruno Sudret, Maliki Moustapha, Chiara Nardin, along with the recent Chair visitors Henrique Kroetz and Büsra Yildirim, gave presentations at the ICOSSAR25 conference in Los Angeles.
The 14th International Conference on Structural Safety and Reliability (external page ICOSSAR25), hosted this year at the external page University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles, brought together leading experts to promote the latest developments and novelties in safety, risk, and reliability of engineering systems. The event was organized by Profs. Roger Ghanem, Erik Johnson, Sami Masri, and Audrey Olivier, and continues to represent a cornerstone forum for advancing structural safety and reliability research.
Our Chair had a strong and active presence throughout the week, with several talks and presentations on our recent research. Bruno Sudret presented Anderson Pires’ latest results on "Reliability analysis of stochastic systems using stochastic polynomial chaos expansions and active learning", exploring advanced active learning strategies for dealing with stochastic simulators in reliability contexts. Moustapha shared his recent findings on "Reliability-Based Design Optimization for High-Dimensional Problems Using Stochastic Emulators", contributing to tackling complexity in high-dimensional design spaces. Chiara Nardin presented her work entitled "UQ State-dependent framework for seismic fragility assessment of industrial components", a promising direction for probabilistic seismic risk assessment.
Moreover, our recent Chair visitors Henrique Kroetz and Büsra Yildirim showcased their work on “Use of stochastic emulators to establish fragility curves of structures under tornado winds”, and “Reliability-based design optimization of floating wind turbine substructures under uncertainty”, respectively, that results from joint developments with Chair members.
