Natural Catastrophe Modelling in Practice: Insights and Case Studies

The talk will focus on Natural Catastrophe (NatCat) modelling and its role in quantifying risk and uncertainty associated with hazards such as earthquakes, cyclones, and floods. The lecture will cover hazard, vulnerability, exposure, and financial frameworks, with emphasis on geotechnical effects, probabilistic loss estimation, and real-world case studies. Dr. Vipin is a specialist in natural catastrophe modelling with over a decade of experience in probabilistic hazard and loss modelling across multiple perils. He currently leads the Natural Catastrophe Centre of Excellence at Swiss Re and has extensive experience bridging scientific modelling with industry applications.
