I delivered a talk titled “Love Letter from Epicenter: The Story of the 1897 Great Assam Earthquake”, the following is the abstract of the talk. A related essay can be found in my blog.
I co-authored an article with Carlos Molina Hutt on the complexities of risk reduction for older tall buildings in Vancouver in The Conversation. You can read the article here.
I started my Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship on a project titled “Resilience Enhancement through Multi-Hazard Recovery Analysis of Earthquake and Flood-Affected Infrastructure”. I will be part of the DE|RISC lab at University College London working with Professor Carmine Galasso.
I participated in the 2025 Taiwan-Japan-New Zealand Seismic Hazard Assessment Workshop, where experts and leaders in the three countries and beyond shared updates on various aspects of modelling and application in respective national models.
I delivered a presentation titled “Peeling the Layers of Earthquake Risk: Hazards, Exposure, Vulnerability, and Tolerability” at IIT Bombay and IISc Bangalore during October, 2025. The presentation focused on how risk models often serve as heiristics to guide risk–reduction policy decisions, which makes it especially critical that risk modelers play a larger role in interpreting and communicating results.
I presented a poster on “Earthquake scenarios and corresponding seismic hazard maps for four locations across Aoteroa New Zealand” during the 2025 Annual Meeting of QUakeCore that was organized in Dunedin, New Zealand during 1-4 September, 2025.
I presented our work titled “Framework for Selecting Representative Earthquake Scenarios: A Case Study for Wellington, New Zealand” during a session titled “Multi-hazard resilience quantification of community systems for informed mitigation, climate adaptation, and post-event management” during the 14th International Conference on Structural Safety and Reliability.
I delivered a talk virtually titled “The Many Faces of Performance Based Earthquake Engineering” during a class seminar for Professor Marco Gallegos at the Departmento De Ingeneria Civil y Ambiental at the Universidad del Bio Bio in Chile.
I presented our ongoing work on “Framework for Selection of Representative Earthquake Scenarios for Wellington”” during a session titled “– Engineering Seismology, Seismic Hazard and Ground Motions” during the 2025 New Zealand Society of Earthquake Engineering Annual Technical Meeting that was organized in Auckland, New Zealand during 8-11 April, 2025.
I am honored to have received a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship for a proposal titled “Resilience Enhancement through Multi-Hazard Recovery Analysis of Earthquake and Flood-Affected Infrastructure”. I will move to University College London in January 2026 to start this project with Professor Carmine Galasso.
