Prof. Dr. Bruno Sudret

Short biography

Bruno Sudret is a professor of Risk, Safety and Uncertainty quantification at ETH Zurich since 2012. His teaching and research interests are computational methods for uncertainty quantification, reliability and sensitivity analysis, Bayesian approaches for model calibration and reliability-​based design optimization, among others.
B. Sudret received a master’s of science from the Ecole Polytechnique (France) in 1993. He then obtained a master’s degree and a Ph.D in civil engineering from the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (France) in 1996 and 1999, respectively. Dr. Sudret has been working in probabilistic engineering mechanics and uncertainty quantification for engineering systems since 2000: first as a post-​doctoral fellow at the University of Berkeley (California), then as a researcher at EDF R&D (the French world leader in nuclear power generation) where he was the head of a group specialized in probabilistic engineering mechanics (2001-​2008). From 2008 to 2011 he has worked as the Director of Research and Strategy at Phimeca Engineering (France).
B. Sudret is the author and co-​author of more than 250 publications in journal and conference proceedings. He currently serves in the editorial board of Reliability Engineering and Systems Safety, Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics and Structural Safety. He promotes the dissemination of uncertainty quantification techniques through the development of the software external page UQLab and the community platform external page UQWorld.
