This webpage compiles the work led by Professor Mauricio Sánchez-Silva within the School of Engineering – Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering. Professor Sánchez-Silva’s area of expertise is risk analysis and stochastic modelling to support the decision making-process in engineering under uncertain conditions. He works on Probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA) and approximate measures to estimate potential risks for infrastructure, network systems and industrial facilities. Furthermore, he has experience on estimating risk in complex problems under conditions where information is partial, incomplete and difficult to quantify. Finally, he has been involved in projects where the socioeconomic and environmental contexts play a significant role and, therefore, traditional risk modelling and engineering methods can only be applied partially.
Universidad de los Andes recognizes the Infraestructura Visible project led by Professor Mauricio Sanchez-Silva, in the category “Research Projects Creation”.
The Joint Committee on the GLOBE Consensus GLOBE is a committee dedicated to reducing Green House Gas emissions from construction.
Mauricio Sánchez Silva shares his perspectives on flexible and adaptive strategies to develop sustainable and resilient infrastructure at the DRI 2022 technical conference.
The course provides strategic training for the legal, technical and financial management of infrastructure projects in Colombia. Registration open until November 4, 2022. (Click on the image for more information)
