Bilal M. Ayyub is a
scholar, author, educator, engineer and community leaders. He is a professor of
civil and environmental engineering at the University of Maryland, College
Park, and the director of the Center for Technology and Systems Management
(CTSM) at the A. James Clark School of Engineering. Ayyub has been at the
University of Maryland since 1983. He is a leading authority in the areas of
risk analysis, uncertainty modeling, decision analysis, and systems
engineering. Ayyub is also president of BMA Engineering, Inc., a Bethesda,
Maryland-based engineering consulting firm that works with infrastructure and
defense systems
Ayyub was born in
Palestine in 1958 and moved to Kuwait in 1961. He was K12 schooled in Kuwait,
and then received his Bachelor of Science degree in civil
engineering in 1980 from Kuwait University. He moved to the United
States of America in 1980. He received his Master of
Science (1981) and Ph.D. (1983) in civil engineering from the Georgia
Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia.
Ayyub is also a
professor of applied mathematics and scientific computation, an affiliate
professor of reliability engineering, and co-director of the Intelligent
Systems Laboratory. He has taken several sabbatical leaves for research
pursuits at the National Security Analysis Department of the Applied Physics
Laboratory at The Johns Hopkins University, 2014–15; for the American Society
of Engineering Education (ASEE) by the direction of the Office of Naval
Research of the U.S. Navy at the Carderock Division of the Naval Surface
Warfare Center on reliability, stability and navigation control of surface
vessels, 1993-1994, 2000–01 and 2007-08.
Ayyub has lead and
completed many studies and research projects for the National Science
Foundation, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, Army Corps of
Engineers, Department of Homeland Security, the Maryland State Highway
Administration, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and several
engineering companies including Bechtel, Chevron, CSC, SAIC and Hartford.
Ayyub is a fellow of
the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Society for Risk
Analysis (SRA) and the Society of Naval Architects and Marine
Engineers (SNAME), and has served in various capacities at the American
Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE), the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the North American Fuzzy Information
Processing Society (NAFIPS) as well.
Ayyub is a multiple
recipient of the ASNE Jimmie Hamilton Award for the best papers in the
Naval Engineers Journal in 1985, 1992, 2000 and 2003. Also, he received the
ASCE Outstanding Research Oriented Paper in the Journal of Water Resources
Planning and Management for 1987, the ASCE Edmund Friedman Award in 1989, the
ASCE Walter Huber Research Prize in 1997, and the K. S. Fu Award of NAFIPS in
1995. He received the Department of the Army Commander's Award for
Public Service in 2007 for leading the development of the risk model for
the hurricane protection system of New Orleans. Dr. Ayyub was appointed to many
national committees and investigation boards including most recently on the
working group on higher education of the transition team of Maryland Governor Martin
O’Malley, 2006–07, the working group on homeland security of the transition
team of Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley, 2006–07, and the Committee for
Assessment of the Bureau of Reclamation’s Security Program, Board on
Infrastructure and the Constructed Environment, National Research Council of
the National Academies, 2006-08. He was appointed to the Maryland Governor's
Emergency Management Advisory Council, and on the Board of Advisers of the
ASCE Council on Disaster Risk Management (CDRM). Presently, he is on the
Executive Committee of the Infrastructure Resilience Division of ASCE, and the
co-chair of its Risk and Resilience Measurement Committee. He has delivered
many invited talks and keynotes at leading national and international
organizations including most recently a distinguished lecture to the Brazilian
Research Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, Naval War
College for the Chief of Naval Operations, the Army Corps of
Engineers, and the Australian National Marine Safety Committee.
Ayyub is on the editorial board of several leading journal, such as the Journal of Risk Analysis and the Journal of Ship Research of SNAME, and the founding editor-in-chief of the ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems in its two parts: Part A. Civil Engineering and Part B. Mechanical Engineering. He also served as the chairman of the ASNE Journal Committee as the technical editor-in-chief from 2000 to 2005.
As a scholar, Ayyub writes extensively in professional publications on risk and uncertainty analysis for decision and policy making. Ayyub is the author and co-author of more than 600 publications in journals and conference proceedings, and reports. His work has received significant media attention including the publication by the Washington Post one of his maps showing the impact of sea-level rise on Washington DC. Among the publications of Dr. Ayyub are more than 20 books including textbooks used by many universities worldwide, such as:
· Sea Level Rise and Coastal Infrastructure: Prediction, Risks and Solutions, ASCE, Reston, VA, 2011 (edited with Kearney).
· Vulnerability, Uncertainty, and Risk: Analysis, Modeling, and Management, ASCE, Reston, VA, 2011 (editor).
