Rabeea Basir’s research lies at the critical intersection of wireless communications, disaster management, and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks. Her most-cited work, “Performance Analysis of UAV‐Enabled Disaster Recovery Networks” (2021), addresses a pressing global challenge: restoring communication infrastructure after natural calamities such as earthquakes, cyclones, and floods. In this study, Basir demonstrates how UAVs can be deployed as aerial base stations to provide emergency connectivity and relay real-time situational data when terrestrial networks collapse. By analyzing key performance metrics like coverage probability and throughput, her work offers a practical framework for rapidly re-establishing communication links in devastated areas—a contribution that has already garnered 5 citations and growing recognition. Basir’s research is particularly notable for its humanitarian impact, as it directly informs the design of resilient networks that can save lives during crises. Her approach combines rigorous analytical modeling with real-world deployment scenarios, making her findings valuable for both academic researchers and emergency response planners. As climate change increases the frequency of extreme weather events, Basir’s work on UAV-assisted disaster recovery is poised to become even more influential in shaping next-generation resilient communication systems.
