He is currently Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at NYU's School of Engineering. A topic that he is focused on is "decision making under opacity", that is, a map and a protocol on how we should live in a world we don't understand. He is also concerned with the properties of systems that can handle disorder ("antifragile"). Taleb is the author of the Incerto (The Black Swan, Fooled by Randomness, and Antifragile) a multivolume philosophical essay on uncertainty which has been translated into 35 languages. He has also published academic papers in physics, mathematical statistics, political science, philosophy, ethics, finance, international affairs, and economics, all around the notion of risk and probability.</p><p style="font-size:16px;"><a style="color:#2059A6;font-weight:bold;" href="http://necsi.edu/education/school.html">Register or Learn more</a> about the Summer School. </p><img src="http://www.necsi.edu/images/emailfooter.gif" alt="New England Complex Systems Institute" style="border-bottom:1px solid #2059A6;font-size:24px;display:block;font-weight:bold;border-top:1px solid #2059A6;margin-top:15px;padding-top:5px;width:620px;"><p style="padding-top:15px;color:#5E5D5E;font-style:italic;text-align:center;vertical-align:top;font-size:14px;">New England Complex Systems Institute<br>210 Broadway Suite 101<br>Cambridge, MA 02139<br>Phone: 617-547-4100<br>Fax: 617-661-7711<br><a href="http://necsi.edu">necsi.edu</a></p></td></tr></tbody></table></font></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><pre><br></pre>
