About

Subashini Suresh is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and public-sector innovation, with a focused expertise in disaster management and urban planning. Her work centers on integrating drone technology into decentralized government frameworks, particularly within the Dominican Republic, where she has developed strategic models that bridge technological capability with organizational readiness. Her most influential paper, "Strategic framework of Unmanned Aerial Systems integration in the disaster management public organisations of the Dominican Republic" (2021, 35 citations), provides a foundational blueprint for deploying UAS in emergency response, addressing both operational barriers and cost efficiencies. Suresh further extends this research into urban planning, demonstrating how drones can automate repetitive tasks in city development, and into infrastructure design, as seen in her work on UAS and Revit for pipeline projects. By identifying business barriers and cost models for decentralized UAS services, she offers actionable insights for developing nations seeking to leapfrog into advanced aerial technologies. Her contributions are particularly notable for their practical, case-study-driven approach, making her a key voice in the global conversation on drone adoption for public good.
