Dale Nesbitt
Adjunct Lecturer, Management Science and Engineering
BioDr. Nesbitt has been teaching MSE 252 (Decision Analysis), MSE 352 (Professional Decision Analysis), MSE 353 (Advanced Decision Analysis), MSE 299 (Coercion Free Social Systems), and MSE 254 (The Ethical Analyst) in the department. He has practiced and taught in these fields, and economic modeling, for several decades.
Dr. Nesbitt has been researching Bayesian statistical analysis, ethics, and ethical theories in a general setting (i.e., personal ethics not necessarily associated with any particular field or discipline). His research focuses on ethics per se, not ethics related to a specific technology, commodity, discipline, area, or practice. He is currently focused on ethics from a socio-personal perspective, one in which coercion is minimized or sanctioned, one that blends the utilitarian approach of Harsanyi, Mill, Bentham, and others with the uncoerced game theory approach of Nash and Harsanyi. The objective of this research is to give a roadmap for people (and groups) to behave ethically and do good and also to be able to consider ethical decision making under uncertainty.
Dr. Nesbitt is completing a monograph on Bayesian Linear Regression intended to unify key dimensions of the field around a pure Bayesian probabilistic viewpoint, what he calls “unabashed Bayes.” The monograph is scheduled for completion in 2022. Dr. Nesbitt continues to research and practice Bayesian regression and probabilistic analysis, recently applying it to disciplines such as automobile selection, jet technology and fuel projection, and petrochemicals demand.
Dr. Nesbitt has focused for many years on building economic-environmental models of the key energy commodities—oil and refined products, natural gas, petrochemicals, automobiles, electric power generation, natural gas and electricity storage, renewable energy, environmental emissions and remediation, and demand/emission. His models and work in the field are well known, extending the classical economic equilibrium approach.
Dr. Nesbitt has worked and published in the field of semi-Markovian Decision Problems (the area of his thesis at Stanford), energy economics, cartels and monopolies, methods for modeling markets, Bayesian statistics, and free (meaning uncoerced) social systems. -

Her specialty is engineering risk analysis with application to complex systems (seismic risk, space systems, medical procedures and devices, offshore oil platforms, cyber security, etc.). Her earlier research has focused on the optimization of warning systems and the explicit inclusion of human and organizational factors in the analysis of systems’ failure risks. Her more recent work is on the use of game theory in risk analysis with applications that have included counterterrorism and cyber security.
She is a member of the National Academy of Engineering where she chairs the section of Interdisciplinary Engineering and Special Fields, of the French Académie des Technologies, and of the NASA Advisory Council. She is co-chair of the committee of the National Academies (NASEM) on risk analysis methods for nuclear war and nuclear terrorism. She is a Fellow (and past president) of the Society for Risk Analysis and of the Institute for Operations Research and Management Science. She is the author of more than one hundred publications, with several best paper awards, and the co-editor of a book on Perspectives on Complex Global Problems (2016). She was a member of the Board of Advisors of the Naval Postgraduate School, which she chaired from 2004 to 2006, and of the Navy War College. Dr. Paté-Cornell was also a member of the President’s (Foreign) Intelligence Advisory Board (2001-2008), of the board of the Aerospace Corporation (2004-2013) of Draper Laboratory (2009-2016), and of InQtel (2006-2017).
