This research program involves faculty from three schools; namely, Nanyang Business School, School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and Rajaratnam School of International Studies. This allows faculty members from all schools to share their research expertise and to pool together their research efforts towards a common agenda. The team will also be able to tap the extensive industrial connections of all three schools. This would facilitate the collection of data and ensure that the project is relevant to real-world humanitarian operations.
