Uncertainty around the frequency and the magnitude of future hazardous events (i.e., both natural hazards such as pandemics, earthquakes, flooding and landslides, and man-made hazards, such as terrorist attacks), makes it crucial for infrastructure managers to estimate the ability of assets to absorb and recover from sudden and traumatic changes in environmental conditions. The main contributions of my research in this area include:

​

• Resilience estimates for transport corridors (i.e., road and railway networks) to both natural and man-made hazards. Reference publications: Martani et al., 2020, under review; Adey et al., 2020, under review; Burkhalter et al., 2020, under review; ; Adey et al., 2020a; Adey et al., 2020b; Kielhauser et al., 2020; Colombo, 2020; Neuenschwander, 2019. Reference projects: EU project Foresee.

​

• Resilience estimates for buildings and building portfolios (i.e., schools), to natural hazards (i.e., earthquakes and flooding). Reference publications: Adey et al., 2019b; Galli, 2018.

​

• Risk assessment and risk-reducing measures for transport corridors.
