I am a Postdoctoral Researcher specialising in Volcanic Risk. My research focuses on understanding and quantifying the risks that communities face from natural hazards through the compilation and assessment of exposure and empirical impact datasets. I completed my PhD at the Earth Observatory of Singapore, where I quantified and assessed the impacts of lava flows on the built environment, involving post-eruption damage assessments, and developed impact forecasting models. Later, as a Research Fellow, I quantified the exposure of cities to volcanic hazards. My work aims to support risk assessment in order to inform disaster preparedness and mitigation strategies, with the aim to enhance community resilience to natural hazards. I am also interested in ethical disaster research practices and risk communication.
