About
Dan Ralescu is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cincinnati since 1980, affiliated with the Department of Mathematical Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences. He holds editorial roles in 10 journals and has delivered plenary lectures globally. His research focuses on probability theory, fuzzy sets, and uncertainty modeling, with applications in finance, engineering, and decision theory.
Education: PhD in Statistics (Indiana University, 1980), M.A. Mathematics with Honors (University of Bucharest, 1972), and additional M.A. in Mathematics/Statistics (Indiana University, 1979).
Research interests include limit theorems for random sets, mixed uncertainty models, Bayesian robustness, and large data set management. His work bridges statistical methodologies with fuzzy logic systems, particularly in financial modeling and risk analysis.
Key contributions include the Liu Process in uncertainty theory, portfolio optimization models using fuzzy time series, and risk index frameworks for uncertain systems. Awards include the 2014 Lifetime Achievement Award from China’s Society for Uncertainty and IFSA Fellowship.
Active in grants since 1985, including NSF-funded projects on decision-making under uncertainty and collaborative efforts with international institutions like Tokyo Institute of Technology. He has supervised numerous research collaborations and publishes extensively in top-tier journals.
