Managing recovery and resilience of critical infrastructures
The resilience of critical infrastructures has become the focal point of strategic planning due to increasing environmental and man-made stressors such as urbanization, population increase, climate change, and extreme weather events. In this webinar, I will give a talk about the resilience of critical infrastructure systems including methods, case studies, experiment-based resilience analysis for transportation and water networks. I will also present outcomes of the collaborative work on interactions of urban resilience and land use that we are doing at the Technology, Policy, and Management (TPM) Resilience lab.
Speaker:
Dr. N.Y. (Nazli Yonca) Aydin, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management, Multi Actor Systems Department, Section Systems Engineering and Simulation, TU Delft.
I am currently an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management, Systems Engineering section, and a member of the 4TU- DeSIRE program on Resilience Engineering. Previously, I was a postdoctoral and senior researcher at the Future Resilient Systems, Singapore-ETH Centre. My research focuses on understanding and measuring the unique characteristics of resilient cities and critical infrastructures.
I have an interdisciplinary background covering water resources engineering, urban planning, and geodetic and geographic information technologies. I have built case studies in Turkey, USA, and Nepal to investigate site selection and decision making for renewable energy systems, sustainability assessment of water networks, and resilience of transportation networks under seismic risks.
