Reliability Assessment of Complex Systems
Antoine Rauzy

Antoine Rauzy is currently Professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU, Trondheim, Norway) and Head of the Chair Blériot-Fabre (CentraleSupélec, Paris, France). During his career, he has moved forth and back from academia (University of Bordeaux, CNRS, Ecole Polytechnique) to industry (Dassault Systèmes) and created start-ups (ARBoost Technologies). Antoine works on mathematical and algorithmic foundations of reliability engineering. He has developed several state-of-the-art algorithms and software (e.g. for fault trees and Markov chains assessment) and is the main designer of the AltaRica modelling language. He has published over 150 articles in international journals and conferences.
