About
Alexander Fekete is a leading researcher in disaster risk reduction, critical infrastructure resilience, and the emerging field of sustainable digital transformation. His work bridges the gap between traditional vulnerability assessments and modern technological systems, particularly exploring how digitalization creates new forms of social vulnerability and interdependencies. In his highly cited 2020 paper, "Sustainable Digital Transformation of Disaster Risk—Integrating New Types of Digital Social Vulnerability and Interdependencies with Critical Infrastructure," Fekete demonstrates how fine-grained demographic and social data can be leveraged to understand differential impacts during disasters, while also cautioning against the risks introduced by increasing digital reliance. With nearly 40 citations, this work has shaped discussions on integrating digital social vulnerability into infrastructure planning. Fekete’s broader contributions include advancing frameworks for assessing cascading failures across critical sectors and advocating for human-centered approaches to resilience. His research is essential reading for students and professionals seeking to understand how digital transformation both aids and complicates disaster risk management in an interconnected world.
