Extreme risks require both more mathematical and more practical rigor..<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Extreme Risks Initiative\u201d, ERI, is an NYU-School of Engineering interdisciplinary open research agenda, based on research axes defined by its members and a global research collaborations. Its approaches are at the intersection of the technical and the practical, based on a rigorous merger of theory and practice across interdisciplinary lines. These may include financial and economic engineering, urban risk engineering, transportation-networks, bio-systems, as well as global and environmental problems. A selected series of research axes as well as publications drawing on members\u2019 Initiatives are included in the ERI a working paper series as well as current research enterprises.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/permalink.php?story_fbid=10152411441448375&amp;id=13012333374\">I now have a new job (well, sort of).
