Advances in Risk-Informed Technologies

Communication) from JMI, N. Delhi (1998) and Ph. D. (Engg.) from IIT Bombay (2008). He has been with Control Instrumentation Division of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Mumbai as Scientific Officer since 1998. He is currently working in the area development & dependability analysis of computer based systems for safety applications and prognostics of electronic systems. He is associated with BRNS (Board of Research in Nuclear Science) in its activities as project collaborator and reviewer. He is also associated with HBNI (Homi Bhabha National Institute) as guide for its post graduate programs. He has over 30 research papers to his credit and has supervised fifteen M. Tech. thesis. He has authored two books in the area of dependability modelling and accelerated life testing of electronic systems. At present he is guiding one Ph.D. candidate of HBNI in the area of prognostics of electronic systems. He is on the editorial board of three international journals and managing editor of Journal - Life Cycle Reliability and Safety Engineering. He was also the member of working group for IEEE Std1856-2017 (IEEE standard Framework for Prognostics and Health Management).

Mayank Agarwal is a mechanical engineer. After successful completion of training from 51st batch of BARC training school, he joined Bhabha Atomic Research Center, Mumbai. completed his M. Tech in Nuclear Science Engineering. As part of his M. Tech. thesis he worked on a project on development of a prototype of a Risk Monitor named as 'Risk-based Operation and Maintenance Management System'. He also worked with a team involved in developing a risk-based approach for  regulatory re-licensing of a reprocessing plant. Based on the experience and research insights,  he also contributed as to writing a departmental report and finally co-authored a paper on the subject in a reputed international journal.

He is working as Mechanical Maintenance Engineer for a Research Reactor at Bhabha Atomic Rese
