Dr. Chi-Hsiang Wang has 20 years’ experience in infrastructure modelling and risk assessment. His recent research has focused on vulnerability and risk modelling of urban systems under natural hazard extremes, and formulating strategies for adapting the urban systems to a future climate. These include assessing extreme hazards of bushfire, coastal inundation, inland flooding, extreme wind, and earthquake, modelling vulnerability of infrastructure against extreme hazards, modelling damages inflicted and costs incurred by natural hazard extremes, developing resilient structural design for disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation, and formulating beneficial adaptation and response strategies for long-term serviceability and sustainability of urban environments.
