This week our NYU Tandon Disaster Risk Analysis Lab had its first conference as a group. We went to Dublin, Ireland, and actively participated at #ICASP14 at Trinity College. We had five presentations on earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and cyberattacks affecting infrastructure.

Paper Alert! My Ph.D. student Prateek Arora and I published a paper in ASCE-ASME J. Risk Uncertainty Eng. Syst.. Our paper presents a quasi-binomial regression model that significantly improves power outage prediction during hurricane early warning. ascelibrary.org/doi/abs/10.106…
