2018 - Fellow of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS)

Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Law
  • Game theory

Game theory, Resource allocation, Computer security, Operations research and Risk analysis are her primary areas of study. Her study looks at the intersection of Game theory and topics like Reliability theory with Haystack and Reliability. Her Resource allocation research includes themes of Optimal allocation, Investment and Vulnerability.

In general Computer security study, her work on Key, Exploit and Private information retrieval often relates to the realm of Relative value, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Her studies deal with areas such as Reliability engineering, Computer security model and Greedy algorithm as well as Operations research. As part of the same scientific family, Vicki M. Bier usually focuses on Risk analysis, concentrating on Terrorism and intersecting with Sequential game and Discrete choice.

Her most cited work include:

  • Balancing Terrorism and Natural Disasters---Defensive Strategy with Endogenous Attacker Effort (330 citations)
  • Choosing What to Protect: Strategic Defensive Allocation against an Unknown Attacker (285 citations)
  • Modeling secrecy and deception in a multiple-period attacker–defender signaling game (192 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Computer security, Game theory, Risk analysis, Resource allocation and Terrorism. Her research integrates issues of Sequential game, Deception and Complete information in her study of Computer security. Her Game theory study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Reliability theory, Computer security model and Reliability.

Her Risk analysis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Probabilistic risk assessment, Risk assessment, Management science and Decision analysis. Her Resource allocation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Homeland security, Investment and Operations research. Her study in Terrorism is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Unit cost, Nuclear weapon and Value.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Computer security (25.21%)
  • Game theory (21.85%)
  • Risk analysis (15.97%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Computer security (25.21%)
  • Risk analysis (15.97%)
  • Game theory (21.85%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her primary areas of study are Computer security, Risk analysis, Game theory, Decision analysis and Microeconomics. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sequential game, Resource allocation and Heuristics. Her Resource allocation research includes elements of Homeland security, Critical infrastructure protection, Deterrence theory and Flow network.

Her Risk analysis study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Actuarial science and Emerging technologies. The Game theory study combines topics in areas such as Computer security model, Terrorism and Infrastructure security. Her work on Game theoretic is typically connected to Discounting, Climate change, Conjunction and Relocation as part of general Microeconomics study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Between 2011 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Should the Model for Risk‐Informed Regulation be Game Theory Rather than Decision Theory? (38 citations)
  • Systems and governance in food import safety: A U.S. perspective (30 citations)
  • Risk assessment can be a game-changing information technology--but too often it isn't. (27 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Statistics
  • Law
  • Artificial intelligence

Vicki M. Bier spends much of her time researching Risk analysis, Computer security, Adversary, Management science and Government. The various areas that Vicki M. Bier examines in her Risk analysis study include IT risk management, IT risk, Risk management plan and Risk analysis. In her papers, Vicki M. Bier integrates diverse fields, such as Computer security and Geographic information system.

Her research in Adversary intersects with topics in Bayesian probability and Vulnerability. She has researched Bayesian probability in several fields, including Homeland security, Resource allocation, Stackelberg competition and Process. Her Government research incorporates themes from Travel time, Reservation and Operations research.
