<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nCourse Description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Computer simulations in form of agent-based, discrete event, and system dynamics are invaluable tools for planning and management of disaster and humanitarian response and relief operations. Using these tools and methods, humanitarian and disaster management agencies and planners can optimize their response strategies, enhance their coordination, and maker their operations more effective, efficient, and understandable. This practical and hands microcredit summer course is ideal for those already in emergency management humanitarian response fields as well as those who are interested in joining these professional worlds. The course teaches participants how to use AnyLogic multimethod simulation software to develop practical simulations for different aspects of emergency management and humanitarian response functions\/operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A microcredit certificate will be issued to all participants from CIFAL York, UNITAR and Antalya Bilim University.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr. Ali Asgary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nProfessor Ali Asgary is an expert in disaster, emergency and business continuity management. He has been actively involved in research, teaching and professional activities in these fields since 1993. His research has been published in leading disaster and emergency management journals including Disasters, International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, International Journal of Disaster Science, Disaster Prevention and Management, Environmental Hazards, International Journal Of Emergency Management, International Journal of Business Continuity and Risk Management, Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management, and International Journal of Emergency Services among others. He was among the funding faculty members who started the first university program in Disaster & Emergency Management in Canada at Brandon University in 2003 and later on among the funding faculty embers who started Disaster & Emergency Management at ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ. Dr. Asgary served as the IAEM Canada president between 2007-2009 and as the board member of IAEM during the same period. He has led as a PI, Co-PI and collaborator in a large number of research projects funded by different agencies including NSERC, GEOIDE, SSHRC, PreCarn, CIHR, NFRF, ORF, Transport Canada, Public Safety Canada, Wellcome Trust, IDRC, and DRDC. Since 2015 Dr. Asgary has been the executive director of ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ's Advanced Disaster, Emergency and Rapid-response Simulation (ADERSIM). His research interests include post disaster recovery and reconstruction, business continuity and risk assessment, disaster and emergency simulations and modeling, applications of AI, VR, AR and MR, and geomatics in disaster and emergency management, and cost-benefit analysis and decision making under uncertainty.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
