I am honoured to announce my engagement as a Professor at Montanuniversität Leoben, Austria, in the Department of Environmental and Energy Process Engineering, for the Master’s program in Safety and Disaster Management (Interdisciplinary study), during the summer semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. I will be delivering lectures on:
🔹 Critical Infrastructure Protection
This course will explore the protection of critical infrastructure against natural and technological hazards and disasters, emphasizing risk assessment, resilience-building, and emergency response strategies. Students will examine vulnerabilities and cascading effects across infrastructure sectors, with a focus on cybersecurity threats, system interdependencies, and the role of public-private collaboration in disaster preparedness and recovery. Through real-world case studies and best practices, the course will provide practical insights into safeguarding essential services such as energy, transportation, water supply, and communication networks, ensuring their functionality during disasters.
In addition to this engagement, I am also pleased to be recognized for “very good” rated teaching, as acknowledged in the “Rektor aktuell” publication. It is an honor to contribute to academic excellence and receive such recognition.
A special thanks to Rector Univ.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.mont. Dr.-Ing. E.h. Peter Moser for this opportunity, to Univ.-Prof. Dr. Harald Raupenstrauch, Programme Director and Chair of Thermal Processing Technology, for his support and collaboration, and to Dr. Renate Renner, Senior Scientist and Head of the Safety and Disaster Studies (SDS) working group, for her invaluable contributions and dedication to advancing disaster risk management education.
Looking forward to engaging in discussions and knowledge exchange with students and faculty at Montanuniversität Leoben this summer semester! 🎓🌍
