CRISiSLab is driven by a passion for cutting-edge research and innovation, and their work reflects their unwavering commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and diverse perspectives. The lab is at the forefront of five groundbreaking research themes, including earthquake early warning, citizen science and crowdsourcing, artificial intelligence, communication technologies, and sensor design and development.
The high dependency on the internet for sharing information exacerbates the problem. In disaster-stricken regions, internet connectivity can be disrupted or completely unavailable, further impeding communication and information flow. As a result, there is a pressing need to research alternative telecommunication technologies that can function independently of existing infrastructure. These technologies should be resilient, reliable, and capable of providing communication services in disaster scenarios.
