Introduction

Who Am I ?

My name is Adolphus Lye, a passionate and curious-driven researcher from Singapore whose research network spans across Asia and Europe. I currently serve as a Research Fellow within the Singapore Nuclear Research and Safety Institute (SNRSI) at the National University of Singapore. At present, my research focus is on imprecise Probabilistic risk assessment of nuclear reactors under uncertainty.

On a regional (Southeast Asia) level, I serve as one of the co-leaders of the Probabilistic Safety Analysis & Human Reliability Analysis sub-committee under the umbrella of the ASEAN Network on Nuclear Power Safety Research. The objective of our role here is to spearhead the research efforts on nuclear risk analysis within Southeast Asia, as well as provide a platform for regional and international discussions on nuclear safety. Details on the sub-committee can be found here.

I obtained my PhD in 2023 from the  Institute for Risk and Uncertainty at the University of Liverpool under the co-supervision of Professor Edoardo Patelli, Professor Alice Cicirello, and Professor Scott Ferson. For my dissertation, I developed computationally-efficient and robust sampling algorithms which address some key short-comings identified within existing sampling techniques used in Bayesian Model Updating. A list of my publications can be found here. Prior to this, I undertook my undergraduate studies at the National University of Singapore where I obtained my Bachelor of Science (with Honours) degree majoring in Physics with a minor in Mathematics.

My research interests/passion include the following topics:

Should there be an interest on any of the above research topics and to collaborate, please feel free to reach out for a chat!

Besides work, I am currently part of the Cross Country Staff team within the University where I am able to continue pursuing my passion for long distance running at a competitive level. It is a sport I have been doing since 2014, and I have since participated in public races held in Singapore, Australia, Taiwan, and across the United Kingdom.  

Other than running, my other hobbies include: travelling, writing, public-speaking, music, football, and watching combat sports (e.g., WWE and UFC).
