Research conducted at the division focuses on uncertainty and optimization modeling and related methods and theory. Staff members mainly participate in research teams at engineering faculty and university departments. The division also cooperates with departments of other Czech universities (Masaryk University Brno, Charles University in Prague) as well as with other non-university institutions such as the Dukovany and Temelin Nuclear Power Plants. Cooperation is also going on with universities abroad (e.g., Texas University of Austin, University of Malta, Molde University College, University of Edinburgh). The division staff members are involved in various research activities as testified by scientific papers published in applied journals abroad and by regular participation in international conferences.They also participate on Mathematical Engineering Doctor's degree programme offering theses themes in statistics, fuzzy mathematics, and optimization models. The department has also organized several visits of foreign researchers (D. Morton from University of Texas,Austin; H. Gassmann fromDalhousie University, Halifax; S.W. Wallace from MUC Molde, and D. Suda from University of Malta, Msida).  

Doc. Karpíšek
is specialized in mathematical statistics and fuzzy sets. Related applications are in reliability and technical systems diagnostics in power plants (nuclear plants Dukovany and Temelin), in stochastic modeling of material characteristics, in statistical methods in quality control and medicine. He has supervised a research design MŠMT ČR CEZ: J22/98: 261100009. He participates in the scientific seminar on applied mathematics at MU and he is a lecturer at the regular seminar Data Analysis. He is a supervisor of PhDs in Mathematical Engineering. 

Doc. Maroš
