Research
My doctoral research focuses on the use of social media applications in the context of emergency management. Therefore, I am currently analysing emergency management frameworks in order identify recurring events and activities in emergencies and disasters, to which the use of social media applications prove beneficial. Additionally, I am analysing the impact of new communication technologies on crisis communications, e.g. in the context of warning and informing the public.
Further research areas of interest include:- Collective Intelligence using Social Media Applications
- Open Source Intelligence / Information Filtering & Analysis
- Emergency & Disaster Management
- Socio Technical Systems / Social Informatics
- Information Visualisation for Control Room Environments
- Critical Infrastructures
Previous research aimed to support the computational risk assessment for the UK Fire and Rescue Services. Thereby, I worked on research topics such as information exchange in government IT systems, information visualisation, cost-benefit analysis and resource allocation in public services.
