About
Dr. Chetan S. Sankar is a distinguished scholar whose research bridges information technology, disaster recovery, and engineering education. He is best known for pioneering work on leveraging emerging technologies—such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)—to enhance disaster management and facility retrieval in hurricane-prone coastal regions. His 2015 study on RFID implementation for disaster recovery, though early in its citation impact (3 citations), laid critical groundwork for integrating real-time data systems into emergency response frameworks. Beyond disaster informatics, Dr. Sankar has made substantial contributions to pedagogical innovation, particularly through the development of experiential learning models that use industry case studies to teach complex problem-solving in engineering and business contexts. His work has influenced curriculum design at multiple universities and has been recognized with numerous teaching awards. With a career spanning over three decades, Dr. Sankar has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed publications, many of which have been cited extensively in the fields of information systems and engineering education. His research continues to shape how organizations prepare for and respond to catastrophic events, making him a vital voice in the intersection of technology, resilience, and learning.
