PhD Details
My PhD project aims to develop methodologies for building emergency department (ED) models for disaster preparedness and response. Many existing ED models are designed for normal scenarios but not for disasters like earthquakes or infectious disease outbreaks where ED behaviour could differ significantly. To address this gap, I leverage techniques from data science, process mining, agent-based modelling, and machine learning to understand and predict ED behaviour better during disasters.
