Joost Santos is currently an associate professor in the Department of Engineering Management and
Systems Engineering at the George Washington University. His research interests lie at the intersection
of systems engineering, disaster risk analysis, and economics. Prof. Santos is one of the principal
investigators in the 2018 “Mitigation Saves” report that has been cited by many journals, news media,
and research agencies across the world. He is also one of the principal investigators in an ongoing multi-
university National Science Foundation grant: “Collaborative Research: Organizing Decentralized
Resilience in Critical Interdependent-infrastructure Systems and Processes.”

Joost is one of the key developers of the inoperability input-output model (or IIM), which utilizes and
transforms economic input-output accounts for disaster risk analysis applications. This model has been
applied in various scenarios such hurricane impact analysis, multi-state electric power blackout,
evaluation of renewable energy options, and most recently in the analysis of mitigation measures in the
context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Joost has mentored several master’s and doctoral students who
have extended the IIM. Notable examples are Dr. Krista Yu from DLSU Manila and Dr. Joanna
Resurreccion from UP Diliman. As part of his outreach activities to the Philippines, he has completed two
Balik Scientist appointments at De La Salle University in 2012 and 2016. He has also served as a Visiting
Professor at the University of the Philippines in 2015. He is currently a US Fulbright Scholar (2021-2022
cohort) working with DLSU as the host institution. Results of his research activities are documented in
more than 100 peer-reviewed articles, including a highly cited article on the use of IIM, which appeared
in an issue of Risk Analysis journal in 2004. He won two best paper awards from the Society for Risk
Analysis. He was also the 2009 recipient of the Leontief Memorial Prize from the International Input-
Output Association.
