On February 15, 2023, Nikola Blagojević defended his PhD thesis "A Framework for Probabilistic Resilience-based Assessment and Design of the Built Environment" mentored by Professor Božidar Stojadinović.The thesis presents the iRe-CoDeS framework for regional recovery simulation and resilience assessment of the built environment. The iRe-CoDeS framework can be used to formulate a system-of-systems model that can probabilistically assess the resilience of several interdependent infrastructure systems by simulating their post-disaster evolution of supply and demand for various resources. The framework builds on top of existing regional risk assessment tools and simulates post-disaster regional recovery of the built environment while allowing for what-if analysis that can shape effective resilience-improving actions. The thesis concludes with a novel algorithm for the continuous resilience-based design of the built environment.
