Handbook of Flood Risk Management in Developing Countries

Victor Oluwasina Oladokun, Ph.D., a professor of industrial and production engineering at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, is a senior Fulbright scholar and a Commonwealth academic fellow. Professor Oladokun, a certified SAP trainer/consultant, is the Deputy Dean, University of Ibadan School of Business. He is a member of the Academic Board of SAP University Alliances Africa (ESEFA) and a member of the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission Alumni Advisory Panel. Engr. Oladokun, a member of the Nigerian Society of Engineers, worked in the heavy equipment service sector before joining academics. He has extensive experience in teaching, research, mentoring, leadership and curricula development and has been involved in several multidisciplinary and international collaborative initiatives. As the Chair of the Department of Industrial and Production Engineering, he led the successful development and deployment of a new professional master’s program in engineering management to create a vital university–industry link. Professor Oladokun has served as a visiting research fellow at universities in the United Kingdom, United States and Nigeria. His research interests include disaster risk management and resilience modelling. His ongoing research includes the application of digital twin and IoT systems for disaster risk management and supply chain resilience improvement. Prof Oladokun teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses in applied optimization, operation management, project management, scheduling, reliability engineering, soft computing, entrepreneurship, supply chain management and enterprise systems. Professor David Proverbs is Dean of the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Wolverhampton. He has over 25 □years of experience in higher education and has held strategic leadership roles in three modern universities, where he has championed student learning as a research-driven, curriculum-active and enterprising academic. David has developed significant regional, national and international research and enterprise collaborations, drawing on a range of funding sources to pioneer innovative solutions towards improving resilience to flooding. He has pioneered the development of flood recovery approaches to the benefit of many governments, agencies, charities, companies and institutions worldwide. His research has had significant national and international impact in the development of UK climate change policy; as a trustee advising on global research grant awards; and through supporting the development of national flood risk strategies, for example, in Brazil, China, Nigeria, Peru and the United Kingdom. He is a member and lead innovation adviser to the Environment Agency’s Regional Flood and Coastal Committee. He has published extensively on a range of flood risk management topics, including adaptation, resilience and recovery. David is an experienced editor and is Chief Editor of the International Journal of Building Pathology and Adaptation (Emerald), Guest Editor of two recent special issues of the Water journal on flood risk and Editor of a number of books related to flooding and climate change. He is Co-Chair to the bi-annual International Conference on Flood and Urban Water Management (FRIAR). Oluseye Adewale Adebimpe is a young academic and doctoral student at the Department of Industrial and Production Engineering, University of Ibadan, Nigeria. He is a certified SAP trainer, SAP ERP consultant, Fulbright scholar and Erasmus scholar. Oluseye is registered with the apex engineering body in Nigeria (Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria) and is a member of the Nigerian Society of Engineers. Oluseye had vast experience in the manufacturing sector which spans production and management of engineering systems before joining academics. He is a teacher, researcher and mentor with publications in reputable journals. He has served as a research student in the United Kingdom and United States. His research interests include flood risk management and renewable energy storage. His ongoing research includes developing models for flood resilience measurement, measuring flood vulnerability and developing a model for evaluating integrated solar photovoltaic and pumped-hydro storage systems. Oluseye teaches undergraduate and professional courses in energy systems modelling, terotechnology, industrial quality control, manufacturing systems and supply chain management. Dr. Taiwo Adedeji is a lecturer at the Department of Design, Manufacturing and Engineering Management at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. He has over eight years of teaching experience in higher education, with a passion for student learning and ability to impart complex information to audiences of all levels. He has developed particular expertise in flood risk management and is committed to helping communities respond and adapt to climate change. He has published his research findings in a range of outputs, including Q1 journals, book chapters and research reports. Taiwo is currently a reviewer for the International Journal of Building Pathology and Adaptation (Emerald).
