The professor leads the Resilience Lab at TU Delft and is scientific director of the knowledge center 4TU Centre for Resilience Engineering in the Netherlands.
The LOEWE Center emergenCITY has appointed Tina Comes, Professor of Decision Theory & ICT for Resilience at Delft University of Technology, to its Scientific Advisory Board. She will advise researchers on strategic issues at the center. She also intends to promote cooperation with the 4TU Centre for Resilience Engineering, of which she is the scientific director. The 4TU.Resilience Engineering, which brings together the four technical universities in the Netherlands, is a partner of emergenCITY. Together with other partners, they are organizing, among other things, the International Conference on Resilient Systems (ICRS), which will take place in Delft in 2026.
Tina Comes, who is also a member of the Academia Europaea, brings a wealth of experience to the table: her research work focuses on disasters, humanitarian aid, risk management, critical infrastructures, smart cities, and information and communication technologies, among other topics. Her goal is to develop methods that offer decision-makers the best possible support in disasters. This includes questions such as: How can the exchange of information from the bottom up be ensured? How can humanitarian supply chains be organized fairly and equitably? How can we develop systems that learn from disasters?
Tina Comes, who studied mathematics, philosophy, and literature in Germany and France and earned her doctorate at the renowned Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, attaches great importance to interdisciplinary collaboration.
Her first visit to Darmstadt is already on the calendar: She will give a keynote speech at emergenCITY Week next spring and engage in dialogue with
