  • While working within UNDP on disaster management and database, I developed a keen interest in disaster database software and Big data analytics for disaster planning, response and recovery.
    In my research, I am looking at finding ways on how I can use the current technology (mobile, communications, network etc) and try to filter the Big data on various sources for real-time disaster analysis, storage and archiving for effective disaster management, planning and response in Papua New Guinea.
