He is known for his continuing efforts to advance related frameworks, methodology, and tools, to communicate results including uncertainties as well as for his successful endeavor in stimulating trans-boundary cooperation to improve governance of emerging systemic risks.

[6] Inter alia he is member of the international review group of the Japanese Nuclear Safety Institute (JANSI), the project of three German academies on “Energy Systems of the Future” (ESYS),[7] and notable advisory boards.

In 2003 he gave up the position at PSI and served as Founding Rector and vice-president of the IRGC located at Geneva, and in parallel directed the Lab of Safety Analysis of ETH’s department of mechanical and process engineering (MAVT).

After his retirement early 2011 to end of 2014 he was mandated founding executive director of the ETH Risk Center and established the project of Future Resilient Systems at CREATE in Singapore.

He is engaged in a project on learning from world wide past nuclear events, contributes to safety assessment and validation of autonomous vehicles and works as advisor to scientific institutions.

His scientific research deals with basic methodology and practical applicability, low probability-high consequence risks and the question of acceptable/tolerable safety, all in relation to complicated single facilities including nuclear power plants of different types and large-scale complex cyber-physical systems as well as autonomous vehicles.
