My research on vulnerability and resilience examines the way structures and infrastructures are designed to protect against low probability, high consequences events. During extreme natural hazards, communities expect continued availability of infrastructure to recover from the impact of hazards. This demands an understanding of the interactions and interdependency of a wide range of systems. I use systems thinking approaches to model these as exemplified by recent projects: Resilient Economy and Society by Integrated Systems Modelling (in China), Seismic Safety and Resilience of Schools (in Nepal), and Beyond the Network Cities (in Africa).
