Fabien Steinmann
Safety and Accident Investigation Centre, School of Aerospace, Transport and Manufacturing, Cranfield University
PhD Student in Aviation Resilience
Fabian is a Doctoral Researcher at the Safety and Accident Investigation Centre at Cranfield University and a Visiting Research Scholar at the Global Resilience Institute. His work investigates the resilience of the United Kingdom air transportation industry. The goal of his Ph.D is to provide empirical evidence of where and how features of resilience are already being used in air transportation operations and identify opportunities for the aviation system to implement the concept of resilience. Fabian regularly attends the meetings of the Industry Resilience Group, a collaboration between airlines, airports, air navigation service providers, and the regulator in the United Kingdom.
With the interest of the industry in resilience increasing, Fabian’s research proved to be topical but also applicable to many disciplines and sectors. In 2021, he was involved in an IAPH research project, investigating the resilience management of ports around the world. Fabian is a great supporter of cross industry collaboration and learning. Presenting his research findings to the IAPH committee and examining how the concept of resilience applies to the aviation industry provides the opportunity to share best practices and innovative solutions.
