About University of Maryland
The University of Maryland (UMD) is a preeminent national university that serves as a catalyst for high-quality research and brings students deeply into the process of discovery, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Interdisciplinary collaborations facilitate the understanding of complex problems like climate change, and international study and diversity help our graduates become global citizens. The Center for Risk and Reliability is a globally recognized leader in risk analysis and reliability engineering research and education, with a 40-year legacy of contributions to energy system safety and reliability. UMD’s location inside Washington, D.C.'s Beltway, along with its own Metro stop, gives students numerous opportunities to work with neighboring federal agencies and labs, think tanks, industry leaders, and foreign organizations.
