Liaquat Hossain
Professor
I personally believe that I bring (i) strong transdisciplinairy complex systems and computational social science research as an individual researcher; (ii) experience in cross fertilization of complex systems research approach with other disciplines such as Medicine, Public Health, Clinical Infectious Diseases, Physical, Life and Agricultural Sciences, and Business and Economics; (iii) proven track record of successful development and implementation of multidisciplinary undergraduate and postgraduate coursework programs as well as success in developing and implementing combined degrees with Information Science, Engineering, Commerce, Public Health and Agricultural sciences; and, (iv) significant local and international research partnerships with leading universities and industry contact as well as success in supporting fundraising initiatives.
My research focuses on understanding resilience, robustness, accuracy and precision of information flow in organisational, community and engineered complex systems. I have been investigating the functioning and robustness of hierarchical structures and potential problem leading to disruption or delay in the adaptation of behaviours for optimal functioning. I consider the examination of feedback systems leading to effectiveness and efficiency in learning, correcting or intervention to changed behaviour an important step towards understanding performance outcome of different networks in social, biological, living and organizational systems.
I am fascinated by the complexity of interactions of different macro and micro structures which could lead to positive, negative or improved outcome in different types of systems and sub systems. Currently, I am exploring effects of social networks and technology in supporting communication flow during crisis, coordinated interventions and delivery of health care and sociology of health, coordination of public health interventions, social networks in allied health service learning, effects of social networks in the delivery of nutritional health outcome. I have also been exploring social media analytics and social networks to explore disaster/crisis management and understanding resilience for dealing with disasters related to flood, fire, tsunami, disease outbreaks from food, zoonotic diseases and other man made and bio related security preparedness and response.
My work over the past 10 years have evolved to be transdisciplinary where I begin to find links with social, biological, life and computational sciences and its application in exploring robustness, accuracy and precision of information flow problem in organising systems so that underlying innovation process and learning networks can be explored empirically.
