My research focuses on understanding and quantifying the risks that populations and assets (buildings, infrastructure, agriculture) face from natural hazards. I develop and assess exposure and empirical impact datasets at local, regional, and global scales.

During my PhD at the Earth Observatory of Singapore, I quantified the impacts of lava flows on the built environment by conducting post-eruption damage assessments and developing impact forecasting models. As a Research Fellow, I expanded my focus to the global scale, assessing the exposure of cities to volcanic hazards. Currently, my work examines the potential impacts of high-impact, low-probability eruptions.

By supporting risk assessments, my research aims to inform disaster preparedness and mitigation strategies, ultimately enhancing community resilience to natural hazards. I am also interested in ethical approaches to disaster research.
