About the Author

Ivo Haring received a PhD in physics at the Max-Planck-Institute for Complex Systems (MPIPKS) from the Technical University Dresden (TUD). Since 2004 he works at the Fraunhofer Ernst-Mach-Institute (EMI), Germany; currently as deputy head of the department Safety Technologies and Protective Structures, head of the group Resilience Engineering and as senior scientist for the Safety and Efficiency Analysis group, the Reliable Systems group and the Hazard and Risk Analysis group. Areas of interest include: qualitative and quantitative risk and resilience analysis, engineering, management, and optimization; system modelling, analysis, engineering and numerical simulation; technical reliability and safety analysis of multi-domain systems including software and networks; and software application and 3D expert tool development. In these areas he contributed to the scientific work program, execution and dissemination of multiple national and EU funded research projects, in particular with the aims of risk control, susceptibility and vulnerability reduction as well as resilience enhancement. The results have been documented in many (conference) articles and used for lectures within safety and security engineering degree programs and continuous academic courses for resilient technical systems. He is member of the editorial board of the European Journal for Security Research (EJSR).
