Yuan Chai

Dr. Yuan Chai is a Researcher at the Adelaide Business School, Faculty of Arts, Business, Law and Economics, University of Adelaide. Her work centers on the application of complex systems theory to disaster response and urban resilience, aiming to enhance national and urban security through improved systemic coordination and adaptive frameworks.

Her research interests include Complex Systems, Complexity Science, Systems Thinking, Disaster Response, Risk Management, Emergency Management, Smart Cities, and Resilient Urban Development. These areas reflect an interdisciplinary approach that integrates engineering systems design with public policy and organizational behavior.

The available publications demonstrate a consistent focus on modeling disaster response as a complex, interconnected system. Themes across her work include the use of system dynamics, the integration of smart and sustainable city models, and the application of systems-of-systems (SoS) approaches to emergency management. This body of research emphasizes holistic, adaptive, and scalable solutions for modern urban challenges.
