About
Dr Roozbeh Hasanzadeh Nafari

Dr Roozbeh Hasanzadeh Nafari completed his PhD in 2018 on flood damage assessment in urban areas. Roozbeh’s research developed a validated flood damage assessment framework for Australia using historical data collected in mutiple natural hazards to inform disaster management policy in support of the development of risk reduction measures. His research addressed known issues and knowledge gaps around the lack of empirical data in Australia to calibrate damage models. Roozbeth’s findings are a significant contribution to the flood damage assessment process by providing the input data for subsequent damage reduction, vulnerability mitigation and disaster risk reduction.

Roozbeh is now the technical lead of Flood Hydrology and Hydraulics at Arup.

His thesis is available here.
