Dr RAJENDRAN Queen Suraajini

Dr Queen Suraajini Rajendran is currently postdoctoral research fellow associated with the Future Resilient Systems programme at the Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC) and Institute of Catastrophe Risk Management (ICRM) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore working on the research module “Modelling Complex Socio-Technical Infrastructure Systems”.

She received a B.E Geoinformatics in 2011 from College of Engineering at Anna University in India and Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from NTU in Singapore in 2017. Her Ph.D. research focused on developing uncertainty quantification tool for statistical downscaling models to study the climate change impact on urban hydrology. Her doctoral research was also a part of Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) project on “Combined statistical downscaling and disaggregation of regional climate data considering spatial and temporal variability.” In addition, she has worked on a project titled ‘Tunnel Environmental Baseline Evaluation towards Sustainable Tunnel Environment, Energy Consumption, And Urban Planning’ for the Land Transport Authority (LTA) in Singapore.

Her primary research interests include resilience modelling of urban infrastructure to man-made and natural hazards; uncertainty quantification; climate change impact modelling studies; complexity science; catastrophe risk modelling; hydrology; remote sensing; photogrammetry; Geographic Information Systems.
