Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA Research Assistant, Summer 2002 S. Tina Ghosh 3 Counter-terrorism initiative project for the MIT Engineering Systems Division. Explored the use of traditional risk analysis tools, such as event trees and influence diagrams, to represent the propagation of social and technological effects in large-system failures such as regional power blackouts. Coordinated activities of the faculty subcommittee on gaining insights from past experience. Research Assistant, 1998 High-level nuclear waste (HLW) regulatory frameworks project for Electricité de France. Evaluated the representation of risk and uncertainty in safety assessments developed in different national HLW programs and the potential for regulatory requirements to create unintended incentives for the repository developers to make sub-optimal design and program choices.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory , Livermore, CA OCRWM Graduate Fellow, Fall 2000 Project on assessing uncertainty in conceptual models used in the Yucca Mountain Total-System Performance Assessment, in support of doctoral thesis. Consulted experts on the mechanistic modeling of Yucca Mountain sub-systems and components.
