Nascut(a) in: 1964

Interese: Managementul lucrarilor de constructii, Evaluarea Riscurilor si a Incertitudinilor, Metoda Seturilor Fuzzy

Detalii:
Incertitudinile aferente proiectelor ingineresti se datoreaza ambiguitatilor, similaritatilor, aproximarilor si inconsistentei. Cercetarile facute in acest domeniu au contribuit la dezvoltarea unor metode euristice de evaluare a incertitudinii, dar in lumea stiintifica nu exista un consens legat de gradul de corectitudine al acestora. Se pare ca nu s-a dezvoltat o teorie a incertitudinilor si corespunzator, alegerea tehnicii de evaluare a incertitudinilor variaza de la caz la caz si de la problema la problema.
Pentru a rezolva aceasta situatie am folosit metoda seturilor fuzzy in incercarea de a dezvolta o procedura eficienta si sistematica de evaluare a incertitudinilor.
