Guest lecture by Professor Stephan Onggo

We at ITPL are very pleased to welcome Professor Stephan Onggo from the University of Southampton, UK, and cordially invite you to his guest lecture with the topic "The need for multidisciplinary research in disaster management with a perspective from modelling and simulation". Professor Onggo is world-renowned in the fields of modelling, simulation and optimization. He is Professor of Business Analytics at the Centre for Operational Research Management Sciences and Information Systems at Southampton Business School.

The need for multidisciplinary research in disaster management with a perspective from modeling and simulation:
Disaster management is a complex task, as disasters disrupt interconnected systems comprising socio-economic, physical, and ecological elements. To aid decision-makers in disaster management, researchers have proposed various modeling and simulation methods. In this presentation, he will offer an overview of these methods, focusing particularly on simulation and optimization techniques. Rather than delve into technical specifics, he will present at a conceptual level with an aim to foster multidisciplinary research discussions and explore potential collaborations. In the second part of the talk, he will address complexities in disaster management gleaned from recent work in Indonesia and Beirut. Additionally, he will discuss a serious game conducted to examine the impact of biases on decision-making processes in disaster preparedness.
