Seth Guikema is a Professor of Industrial & Operations Engineering and Civil and Environmental Engineering. Prof. Guikema’s research is focused on and grounded in risk analysis, statistical learning theory, Bayesian probability, stochastic simulation, decision analysis, and agent-based modeling. The issues studied are related to climate adaptation and the sustainability of cities and infrastructure, disaster risk analysis, critical infrastructure modeling, natural hazards, and terrorism risk. Current projects include large-scale agent-based simulation models of evolution of regions in response to repeated climate-related events under different policy scenarios, data-driven evaluation of urban renewal and sustainability, and data-driven predictive modeling of the impacts of storms on power systems.
