Biographical details

Professor Liaquat Hossain is focussed on understanding the formation and adaptation of hierarchical, non hierarchical, emerging and self organized structures in social, biological, living and organizational systems.

Professor Hossain worked as a Postdoc in Information Economics, MIT Center for Technology, Policy and Industrial Development, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA during 1997-1998. During 1995-1997, he was a PhD student in Information and Communications Technology, School of Information Technology and Computer Science, The University of Wollongong, NSW Australia. He completed MSc in Computer and Engineering Management with a specialisation in systems management and operations research and Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) from Assumption University during 1994 and 1993.

Professor Hossain has significant working relationships with Banks, Insurance Companies (such as HCF), CRC Financial Markets, CRC Bushfire, NSW Fire, NSW Ambulance, Department of Environment and Sustainability, Australian Federal Police, NSW Health and Hunter New England Area Health Services, State Emergency Services, Emergency Management Australia. Within the University of Sydney, he has been able to link his research activities with the Institute for Sustainable Solutions, Sydney Institute for Emerging Infectious Disease, Centre for Obesity Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease, Centre for Mathematical Biology and Centre for International Security.

Research interests

Chaos is usually unwelcome in a workplace, but not for Professor Liaquat Hossain. His research involves understanding the behavioural dynamics of groups in chaos, crisis or complex settings, leading to better planning and management of events such as bushfires, floods and infectious disease outbreaks.

"We try to capture how groups of people and/or organisations come together collectively during a crisis, across the boundaries of organisations and jurisdictions, to emerge as a team and work together to respond to the event. For example, in the case of a bushfire we might look at how firefighters engage with the local community and with volunteers, how they engage with the fire, how they emerge as a team to provide an effective response to the crisis.

"We also look more broadly at how an entire sector - such as the entire health sector, from federal to local level - deals with an emerging crisis such as an outbreak of swine flu or Hendra virus. For example, if there was an outbreak of a food-borne disease such as salmonella, how would all these groups come together to coordinate the disaster effort?

"What I feel my work is contributing to the broader debate is an understanding of what makes a sustainable community that is proactive rather than reactive, with respect to both social crises and natural disasters.

"To be successful in any field we need dedication and passion, and at the University of Sydney we definitely have those things. It doesn't feel like work here, because have such a passion for what we do that we're always thinking about it - 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year."
