Dr. Ayyub’s main research interests are risk, uncertainty, expert opinion elicitation, and decision analysis, and systems engineering applied to infrastructure, naval, energy, defense and maritime fields. They include resilience, sustainability, climate change, reliability-based design, and risk-informed planning and decision making covering many aspects of project lifecycles and portfolios, such as life expectancy assessment of structural systems, risk-informed inspection, bidding strategies, project execution risk, project life management, operational risk, risk management including risk transfer and risk finance, and liability and exposure analysis.

Dr. Ayyub is a Distinguished Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), an Honorary Member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and a fellow of the Structural Engineering Institute (SEI), Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) and the Society for Risk Analysis (SRA). Dr. Ayyub completed many research and development projects for governmental and private entities. Dr. Ayyub is the recipient of several awards from ASCE, ASNE, ASME, NAFIPS, the Department of the Army, and the Governor of the State of Maryland. Dr. Ayyub is the author and co-author of more than 650 publications (including 8 textbooks and 14 edited books) in journals, conference proceedings, and reports. His textbooks include the following: Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis for Engineers and Scientists (Chapman & Hall/CRC 2006 with G. Klir), Risk Analysis in Engineering and Economics (Chapman & Hall/CRC 2003, second edition 2014), Elicitation of Expert Opinions for Uncertainty and Risks (CRC Press 2002), Probability, Statistics and Reliability for Engineers and Scientists, Third Edition (Chapman & Hall/CRC 2011 with R. H. McCuen), and Numerical Methods for Engineers (Prentice Hall 1996 with R. H. McCuen).
