My motivating interests, domains they have led me to study, and areas of research into which they have driven me.My true passion is in disaster management (particularly in disaster preparedness and response). As a researcher, I am especially interested in design, development, deployment and use of technologies for inexperts: My experience as an active practitioner (and the literature on disaster sociology) shows that most of the people engaged in disaster management have relatively little training or experience with disaster. In most places in the world, fortunately, disasters just don't happen often enough for most people to gain expertise. Most planners and responders are thrown into it by circumstance. I believe that information and communication technologies can be designed to help them be more effective.
