Research Subject(s)
My research focuses on evaluating the risks and resilience of critical infrastructure and communities using quantitative approaches (e.g., statistical and probabilistic modeling.) It also investigates validation protocols for regional risk models to assess uncertainties and develops enhanced methodologies to improve model accuracy in support of informed urban planning decisions.
