On the afternoon of May 13, USSTBS invited David Ríos Insua, member of the Spanish Royal Academy of Sciences, to give anacademic report entitled “RIMAS: Safer skies over Spain Designing the Spanish State Aviation Safety Plan”. Dean of the Business School Zhao Laijun, Dean’s Assistantfor Scientific Research Fang Zhiming, Hujiang Scholar Distinguished Professor Zhang Huizhen, as well as students and faculty members of USSTBS attended the lecture. The lecture was moderated by Zhao Laijun.
Zhao Laijun warmly welcomed David Ríos Insua and introduced his academic experience and researchachievements.
In the lecture, Prof. Insua first pointed out that with the continuous growth of air traffic and the rapid development of related technologies, traditional safety management methods are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of the modern aviation industry. He highlighted the importance of integrating advanced operations research methods and data analysis techniques to enhance safety. During the lecture, Prof. Insua provided a detailed overview of his research in the aviation safety project, including effective integration strategies for the State Safety Program (SSP) and Safety Management Systems (SMS), and the classification and assessment of event severity based on risk matrices. Additionally, he discussed the technical challenges faced by data-driven safety management systems in practical operations and proposed a series of solutions.
During the interaction session, Prof. Insua engaged in in-depth discussions with faculty and students on technical challenges, response mechanisms, international cooperation and other related issues.
Finally, Zhao Laijun, on behalf of the School, expressed his gratitude for Prof. Insua’s insightful sharing.Prof. Insua’s research results in the fields of risk analysis and intelligent decision-making are very fruitful. His research content has a positive role in promoting the development of aviation safety, and his insights provide a new perspective for aviation safety management, pointing out the direction of the future development of safety strategies and technologies. The lecture not only improved the understanding of the complexity of aviation security, but also sparked interest in the use of emerging technologies to solve traditional problems, which can help students enhance their knowledge and encourage them to explore new frontiers.
