- Profile
-
My research interests largely focus on developing and applying probabilistic and statistical methods and tools for catastrophe risk modelling and disaster risk reduction through the investigation of risks to building portfolios exposed to multiple natural-disaster-induced hazards across countries of the global south.

Research Project: Stochastic modelling of seismic hazard and risk assessment framework for Uganda
The overall aim is to develop an innovative framework of seismic multi-hazard and risk assessment for substandard buildings in Uganda, with a view of reducing earthquake-related losses across the country. The framework will rely on basic information that can be readily obtained using local surveys. The hazard and socio-economic level of the country will be quantified first, and then incorporated into a holistic earthquake risk assessment framework; aimed at providing practitioners, policymakers, insurance companies and government stakeholders with practical seismic risk appraisal tools.
