Research interests


Modeling reliability and safety of complex technical systems related to their variable in time operation conditions. As wide as possible approach to this problem by proposing exact and based on the asymptotic approach approximate models evaluating reliability of large systems operating in variable conditions entailing the variability of these systems reliability structures and the variability of reliability characteristics of their components. Moreover, pointing out practical applications of the achieved theoretical results.

 

Doctor Joanna Soszyńska-Budny received her MSc degree in Physics and Mathematics in 1999 at University of Gdansk. Since 2000 she has been working at Department of Mathematics of Gdynia Maritime University. Her scientific interests and activities have been concerned with the modeling reliability and safety of complex technical systems related to their variable in time operation conditions. In this field she prepared her PhD dissertation entitled “Reliability Analysis of Systems in Variable Operation Conditions”. In 2007, after a successful defense of that thesis, she received her PhD degree from the System Research Institute of Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw.  

 

Dr Joanna Soszyńska’s PhD thesis was concerned with the reliability analysis of complex systems related to variable in time their operation conditions. Its main subject was as wide as possible approach to this problem by proposing exact and based on the asymptotic approach approximate models evaluating reliability of large systems operating in variable conditions entailing the variability of these systems reliability structures and the variability of reliability characteristics of their components. Moreover, pointing out practical applications of the achieved theoretical results was an essential her thesis aim as well.        

 

Dr Joanna Soszyńska-Budny is either an author or co-author of 150 scientific works published in scientific journals and conference proceedings. She also is the co-author of two books on reliability of complex systems and the co-editor of one conference proceedings. 

 

She has presented her research results at many international conferences on reliability and safety.

 

She participated in the research project granted by Polish Committee for Science entitled “Asymptotic Approach to Reliability Analysis and Optimization of Complex Transportation Systems”, 2003-2004, and in the research project granted by the European Union entitled „Safety and Reliability of Industrial Products, Systems and Structures”- SAFERELNET, 2002-2005. Recently Mrs. Joanna Soszyńska-Budny has been involved in the Poland-Singapore Joint Project „Safety and Reliability of Complex Industrial Systems and Processes”, 2007–2010.
