Jerzy Filus

Ph. Doctor

 

Research Interests:

  • Stochastic Models with emphasis on System Reliability Modeling with links to actuarial and biomedical problems

  • Stochastic dependences analysis mainly associated with complex systems reliability (multivariate probability distributions)

  • Discrete time markovian and non-markovian stochastic process construction with applications to maintenance (repair) policies

  • Construction of Wiener related stochastic processes with applications

  • Load reliability interactions – an optimization approach

Jerzy K. Filus received his M.S. degree in Mathematics from the University of Warsaw, Poland, in 1972 and his Ph.D. from the Systems Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences in 1979. He was associated, among others, with the System Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Science, the Center for Operations Research and Econometrics, Belgium, the University of Twente, The Netherlands, and the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, USA.  Recently he is a Lecturer in the Dept. of Mathematics and Computer Sciences at Oakton Community College, Des Plaines, Illinois, USA.
 

His research interests have mainly been focused on applied probability problems with emphasis on reliability modeling, and multivariate probability distributions and their extensions towards stochastic processes.
