Vivek Srikrishnan's research group works on improving the resilience of societal units, from individual to global, to deeply uncertain and dynamic environmental risks. Our interdisciplinary, mission-oriented research addresses a broad set of problems, from flood risk management to energy-system investments.

Professor Srikrishnan teaches environmental systems analysis in BEE 4750/5750 and climate risk management in BEE 4850/5850. Topics across both courses include approaches to uncertainty, risk, systems simulation, and decision-making. He uses a variety of case studies to illustrate how to model environmental systems, and how to use simulation and optimization to understand relevant dynamics for the design and management of systems facing risks from human activity and environmental change.

His courses include:

• BEE 4750/5750 Environmental Systems Analysis
• BEE 4850/5850 Environmental Data Analysis and Simulation
