what we do
Research themes of the Sustainable and Resilient Systems Lab.
Research program Observation / Models / Decisions
Communities are systems of infrastructure, social networks, logistics, economies, and governance.
We combine optimization, data science, machine learning, and simulation to understand those connections, predict the consequences of disruption, and improve adaptation decisions.
Quantifying risk
We measure how hazards propagate through interconnected social and infrastructure systems.
Advancing resilience
We develop decision tools for adaptation, preparedness, and recovery.
Building equitable communities
We identify and seek to reduce unequal access, exposure, and recovery outcomes.
