Biography

Dr Rasa Remenyte-Prescott is an Associate Professor in Risk and Reliability Engineering at the University of Nottingham. Rasa gained BSc and MSc degrees with distinction in applied mathematics from Kaunas University of Technology in Lithuania. Following this Rasa undertook her Doctorate research at Loughborough University on systems reliability modelling of non-coherent systems using the Binary Decision Diagram technique. This work led Rasa to develop fast and accurate reliability assessment techniques for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles on an industry-led collaborative project in a postdoctoral research fellow role.

Rasa became an Assistant Professor in 2010 at the University of Nottingham where she co-developed a new MSc Programme in Risk and Reliability methods by Distance Learning aimed at industry professionals. She was promoted to the Associate Professor in 2019.

Rasa is the head of Resilience Engineering research group. Look here for testimonies of our PhD graduates Alumni PhD Students - The University of Nottingham.
