ESR11 Development of methods for risk assessment of wind turbine support structures and bridges

It was a great experience for me to go for the 14th eawe (european academy of wind energy) Ph.D. seminar which was hosted by Vrije Universiteit Brussels.  I have presented an extended abstract as follow there: Title:  Bayesian Network Methods for Risk-Based Decision Making for Wind Turbines Authors: Sima Rastayesh, Jannie Sønderkær Nielsen, John Dalsgaard Sørensen In the first day, some workshops were organized by Ph.D. students who were at the end of their Ph.D. or they were graduated recently. I liked this opportunity which was given to those Ph.D. students. Hope I could also have this chance later. In this conference, four of ESRs had their presentation.  The dinner of this conference was very special, as we ate with dinosaurs 😜 Luckily they did not eat us 😂, It was the best memory I could have from a dinner by a conference, We were all feeling we are VIPs with those delicious food with different varieties.

Same as others, I also have presented ...
