In this SFU Beedie School of Business "Research Spotlight" video, Ehsan Nouri, a fourth-year PhD candidate in Management Information Systems, discusses his research on collaboration technologies for emergent groups engaged in physical work. Nouri explores how these technologies can help volunteers self-organize in disaster scenarios without predefined roles, potentially replacing traditional management structures.
His work aims to empower communities to effectively respond to emergencies like floods and wildfires, especially when official services are overwhelmed. With a background in electrical engineering and a focus on complex adaptive systems, Nouri's research seeks to enhance volunteer coordination and disaster response through innovative technological solutions.
