Water Security and Sustainable Development Hub (funded by UKRI’s Global Challenge Research Fund):

• Co-developed and delivered training courses on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for our partners in Malaysia, including academia, regional and local water management stakeholders.
• Designed a spatio-temporal dashboard solution for monitoring water quality for our partners at the Water Land and Resource Centre in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia).

PhD research:

Following the systems engineering design, my work integrates (near-) real-time weather, hydrological and transport data to support multi-agencies in incident management and flood impact assessment.

Topics:

• Dynamic flood hazard maps
• Computer vision algorithms for image analysis
• System of systems
• Smart cities, digital twins

Projects:

• I was a project officer for a UK Space Agency-funded project exploring the application of satellite imagery for emergency services during different stages of incident management.
• I designed and developed a Highways Major Incident Dashboard prototype for a county council helping to respond to extreme weather events.
• For a utility network operator in the UK, I implemented a GIS-based dashboard to visualise various faults.
• As part of a citizen science project, I developed a GIS application with analytical capabilities to assess the impact of earthquakes in different geographic locations.
