Personal statement

I am a research associate in the Department of Management Science, currently working within the Nunavut-Nunavik search and rescue (NSAR) project. Funded jointly by the NERC and Canada’s National Research Council (NRC), the aim of this project is to strengthen the whole-of-society search and rescue (SAR) system in the Canadian Arctic territories of Nunavut and Nunavik through capacity and skill building, and by creating a decision support model for current and future planning, preparation, and infrastructure development.

I am also completing my PhD in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Strathclyde under the supervision of Enrico Tubaldi, Marco De Angelis, and John Douglas. My research involves evaluating the ability of novel techniques to improve upon earthquake risk assessment practice, with a particular focus on machine learning and ground-motion simulation.
