Multi-hazard Assessment of Mangroves for Resilience of Coastal Communities in Indonesia (MANGRO-ID)

Funder: University Greenwich/Universitas Indonesia via British Council

PI: Dr Marco Baiguera, Co-I: Dr Richard Boothroyd (University of Glasgow/University of Birmingham), Dewi Nurhasanah (Bandung Institute of Technology, Indonesia), Ella Meilianda (TDMRC), Very Yanti (TDMRC). 

We received a prestigious grant to work on an interdisciplinary climate action research project, This was awarded as a result of our participation at the Indonesia-UK Workshop on reduction of climate change impact on flood risk in urban areas, organised by University of Greenwich and Universitas Indonesia, and funded by the British Council in the run up to COP26. The project will started in October 2021 and ended in March 2022. 

Seismic Safety and Resilience of Schools in Nepal (SAFER)

PI: Prof. Anastasios Sextos; Co-Is: Dr. Nicholas Alexander, Dr. Jitendra Agarwal, Dr. Flavia De Luca, Dr. Mehdi Kashani, Dr. Paul Vardanega & Dr. Max Werner

June-October 2021. I have been involved in the seismic testing of a full-scale replica of a Nepali school wall. Tests are carried out at the Large Structures Testing Laboratory (LSTL) of the UKCRIC National Infrastructure laboratory (University of Southampton).

University College London (UCL), UK

Jan 2018 - Feb 2021 | Research Fellow in Earthquake and Tsunami Engineering

My work aimed to generate methods that integrate the design and assessment of buildings for tsunami and sequential earthquake-tsunami loadings, with emphasis on critical structures in developed and developing countries, e.g. analytical tools for design of buildings to tsunami loading and tsunami risk assessment of education & healthcare facilities through field survey activities.
