Kurtis Garbutt

I am currently a research engineer working at the Urban Sustainability & Resilience Centre (USAR), which is part of the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering (CEGE) at University College London (UCL).

I am working with the British Red Cross on a four year project aimed at creating a geographical information system (GIS) tool to improve the understanding of resilience amongst vulnerable people/the elderly in times of crisis.

Before joining UCL I was a researcher at the British Red Cross and a postgraduate researcher at the Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience (IHRR) at Durham University.

I am an avid photographer and you can check out my Flickr photostream here or my photography blog here.

You can also read about my academic and professional work on my LinkedIn page here or on my personal blog.
