Heading the Disaster Analytics for Society Lab, aimed at better understanding climate and disaster risk in order to promote resilient and equitable societies.

Conducting research and teaching on disaster risk analysis, urban and regional risk modeling, and disaster recovery. Having fun with data analytics, geostatistics and predictive modeling to promote sustainable and resilient cities around the world.

• Co-led the housing sector assessment of the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment following the 2015 earthquake in Nepal.• Developed early strategy for damage assessment and recovery following the 2015 earthquake in Nepal.• Analyzed infrastructure damage for the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment following the January 12th earthquake in Haiti.• Coordinated the World Bank Haiti building damage assessment initiative (400,000 buildings evaluated) aimed at preventing further deaths and… Show more • Co-led the housing sector assessment of the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment following the 2015 earthquake in Nepal.• Developed early strategy for damage assessment and recovery following the 2015 earthquake in Nepal.• Analyzed infrastructure damage for the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment following the January 12th earthquake in Haiti.• Coordinated the World Bank Haiti building damage assessment initiative (400,000 buildings evaluated) aimed at preventing further deaths and injuries, as well as to create base-line information products to plan and implement recovery projects.• Led the working group of the Haitian Ministry of Public Works to create disaster resilient construction norms and guidelines.• Adviser to the presidential crisis committee during the hurricane Tomas response initiative (November 2010).
