Adey, Bryan, Prof. Dr.

Kurzbiographie

Bryan T. Adey erhielt einen Bachelor in Bauingenieurwesen von der Universität Dalhousie im Jahre 1995, im Jahre 1997 einen Master in Bauingenieurwesen von der Universität von Alberta und promovierte im Jahre 2002 im Bereich Infrastrukturmanagement an der Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule in Lausanne (EPFL). Seine Dissertation war auf die Berücksichtigung der Naturgefahren in Brückenmanagementsysteme fokussiert. Nach Abschluss seiner Doktorarbeit war er am Lehrstuhl für Erhaltung und Sicherheit von Bauwerken der Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule in Lausanne angestellt (2002-2003).

Im 2003 co-gründete Dr. Adey die Firma Infrastructure Management Consultants GmbH und übernahm dabei die Rolle des Vize-Präsidenten. Von 2003-2009 hat er sich konzentriert auf die Evaluierung, Entwicklung und Verbesserung von Geschäftsmodellen und -prozessen im Zusammenhang mit dem Betrieb und Erhaltung der Infrastruktur sowie auf die Entwicklung und Implementierung von Infrastrukturmanagementsystemen und die Zustands-, Risiko-, und Wirtschaftlichkeitsanalyse der bestehenden Infrastruktur. Diese Arbeit war hauptsachlich auf Strassen- und Schienennetze orientiert, beinhaltete aber auch Wasserversorgungnetzte und -verkehrsnetze. Während dieser Zeit hat er auch weiter in der Bereich Infrastrukturmanagement geforscht, insbesondere fokussiert auf Methoden für die Evaluierung des Gesamtnutzens der Infrastrukturmassnahmen, des Risikos bestehender Strassenverbindungen, und der risikoreduzierenden Massnahmenstrategien für Strassennetze.

In 2010, Dr. Adey hat IMC verlassen um den Lehrstuhl für Infrastrukturmanagement am Institut für Bau- und Infrestrukturmanagement (IBI) an der Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule in Zürich (ETHZ) zu übernehmen. Die Vision dieses Lehrstuhls ist an die Weltspitze vorzudringen bei der Festlegung des konzeptionellen Rahmens, Erarbeitung von Methoden, Modellen und Werkzeuge für ein effizientes Infrastrukturmanagement und damit das reibungslose Funktionieren unserer modernen Gesellschaft sicherzustellen.
