Physical Security in the Process Industry: Theory with Applications deals with physical security in the field of critical infrastructures where hazardous materials are a factor, along with the state-of-the-art thinking and modeling methods for enhancing physical security. The book offers approaches based on scientific insights, mainly addressing terrorist attacks. Moreover, the use of innovative techniques is explained, including Bayesian networks, game-theory and petri-networks. Dealing with economic parameters and constraints and calculating the costs and benefits of security measures are also included. The book will be of interest to security (and safety) scientists, security managers and the public at large.

About the Author
From January 2018 to November 2018 Dr. Landucci was Associate Professor of Safety at the Institute of Security and Global Affairs, Leiden University. From December 2018, he returned to the University of Pisa as an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering.
His research and teaching activities focus on industrial safety and risk assessment in the framework of critical installations, with particular focus on chemical and process industries.His theoretical and practical research framework deal with i) the performance assessment of safety barriers for process equipment; ii) risk assessment of cascading events triggered by process accidents, natural events, and external attacks or acts of interference; iii) the development of quantitative methods for hazard analysis and for design support of inherent safety application.
Dr. Landucci has co-authored several contributions to international peer-reviewed journals and technical conferences and he was coordinator of University of Pisa research team in several National and European research projects focused on industrial safety. He is currently an associate editor of the Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries published by Elsevier. He is also Co-Chair of the Technical Committee in Chemical and Process Industry of ESRA (European Safety and Reliability Association).
Dr. Nima Khakzad is an assistant professor with the School of Occupational and Public Health at Ryerson University. Before joining Ryerson University, he was an assistant professor of safety and security (2015-2019) at the Faculty of Technology, Policy, and Management at Technical University of Delft, The Netherlands.
Dr. Khakzad’s research is mainly focused on safety assessment and management of (petro)chemical facilities with regard to domino effects, natural-technological accidents, and terrorist attacks. He is a member of the editorial boards of Safety Science and Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries, and also the co-chair of the Technical Committee in Chemical and Process Industry at European Safety and Reliability Association (ESRA).
Genserik Reniers (1974) received his PhD in Applied Economic Sciences from the University of Antwerp, after completing a Master of Science degree in Chemical Engineering at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. He lectures in general chemistry, organic chemistry, industrial processes, and technological risk management at the University of Antwerp, Belgium. He is also the Scientific Director of the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Centre for Safety and Security. At the Campus Brussels of the KULeuven in Belgium, Professor Reniers lectures in engineering risk management, advanced occupational health and safety management and chemical processes/unit operations. At the TUDelft in the Netherlands, he teaches risk analysis & risk management. His main research interests concern the collaboration and interaction between safety and security topics and socio-economic optimization within the chemical industry. He has extensive experience in leading research projects funded both by the Belgian government and the chemical industry. He is, amongst others, a Member of the Working Party of Loss Prevention (EFCE) and the Royal Flemish Society for Engineers, and serves as an Editor for the Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries and an Associate Editor for Safety Science. He received the Trevor Kletz Merit Award 2017 for outstanding contributions to the field of Process Safety.
