Approach

Systems Thinking

I examine how risks cascade through interconnected systems, revealing vulnerabilities that siloed assessments can overlook.

Stakeholder Engagement

I use coproduction methods with affected communities and decision-makers to build buy-in and help ensure recommendations are implemented.

Scientific Evidence

I ground my work in evidence, drawing on my own peer-reviewed research, published in journals including Nature and Science Advances.

Proven Practice, New Risks

I adapt established emergency management practice to emerging hazards, from autonomous vehicles to AI, drawing on projects in 12 countries.
