Center for Risk and Reliability
Center for Risk & Reliability
Founded in 1985, the Center for Risk and Reliability's mission is to develop, improve and disseminate data, techniques and tools for risk, reliability and safety of complex socio-technical engineering systems.
Over 20 years of research
CRR has researched safety and risk improving systems approach to structural reliability and critical infrastructure
System-level predictive physics of failure models for structural integrity of military aircraft is another active research area
CRR faculty and students develop risk-based path planning for UAV operations
Research on medical device reliability and healthcare system risk management
graduates from our Ph.D., M.S., and M. Eng programs since 1991.
The Center for Risk and Reliability (CRR) is the umbrella organization for many of the risk and reliability research and development activities at the University of Maryland Clark School of Engineering. Over 20 faculty from various engineering departments of Clark School of Engineering conduct all or part of their research as under CRR umbrella and as directors or co-directors of the center’s numerous research laboratories.
