Reference excerpt

Kiril Ivanov Tenekedjiev (Bulgarian: Кирил Иванов Тенекеджиев; born 18 December 1960 in Varna, Bulgaria) is a professor of quantitative decision analysis and subjective statistics. His research is in statistical pattern recognition, as well as his work on fuzzy-rational quantitative decision analysis and ribbon-risk analysis.

Education and academic career Kiril Tenekedjiev obtained his mechanical engineering degree (both a Bachelor and Master's degree) in ship machines and equipment from the Technical University of Varna, Bulgaria, in 1986. He was awarded a PhD degree in engineering from the Higher Attestation Commission of Bulgaria in 1994, undertaking his studies at the Technical University of Varna. His Doctor of Sciences degree from 2004, awarded by the Higher Attestation Committee of Bulgaria, was on a thesis entitled Decision Analysis: Utility Theory and Subjective Statistics. He was promoted to Full Professor by the Higher Attestation Committee of Bulgaria while still employed by the Technical University of Varna in 2008. Kiril started his academic career in 1986, right after graduating from university. He worked as an operator with the ship propellers and cavitation unit of the Bulgarian Ship Hydrodynamics Center in Varna, Bulgaria. He worked on several research tasks there. After a year, he moved to the Technical University of Varna in 1987, where he was a lecturer in the Department of Resistance of Materials. He eventually spent some 12 years with the Department of Economics and Management, which was a part of the Faculty of Marine Sciences and Ecology at the time. In 2011, he took on a role as a Professor with the Faculty of Engineering, Department of Information Technologies of the Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy-Varna. Since 2016, he has been affiliated with the Australian Maritime College, University of Tasmania, Australia, as a professor in Systems Engineering. Kiril has research interests in quantitative decision analysis, subjective and applied statistics, simulation modelling, data analytics, mathematical modelling of biochemical reactions, statistical pattern recognition and technical diagnostics. Kiril served as a visiting lecturer with the Medical University of Varna and the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. He has conducted specializations with the State University of New York (United States), Semmelweis University (Hungary) and Tokyo Institute of Technology (Japan). Since 2013, Kiril has served as a representative of Bulgaria to the TFEU Program Committee on "Smart, Green and Integrated Transport", Framework Program "Horizon 2020". Since early 2020, Kiril has been the Chair of the Tasmanian subsection of the IEEE Victorian section, Australia, on a two-year term. At the same time, he initiated his role as a Division Committee Member for the Tasmanian Division of Engineers Australia.

Personal life Kiril Tenekedjiev is the first of two children to Ivan Kirilov Tenekedjiev (a mechanical engineer), and Tatiana Museevna Tenekedjieva (a French language high school teacher).

Awards In 2007, he was awarded a Senior Scholarship from the Bulgarian American Foundation for Educational Exchange (Bulgarian Fulbright Commission) and was sent on research and lecturing specialization with Binghamton University, USA 2007, working under the supervision of George Klir. In 2006, he was awarded certificate for a scientist, subject of biographical record in Who’s Who in the World, 23rd Edition 2006. In 2003, he served as Visiting Scholar with the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, working for 9 months with the Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen, Ispra, Italy.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Kiril Tenekedjiev

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Kiril Tenekedjiev claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In mathematics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Kiril Tenekedjiev before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Kiril Tenekedjiev ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Kiril Tenekedjiev

In research: Kiril Tenekedjiev appears in mathematics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Kiril Tenekedjiev in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Kiril Tenekedjiev is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1960 births, 20th-century Bulgarian mathematicians, 21st-century Bulgarian mathematicians, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Kiril Tenekedjiev outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
