Research interests/biography

Suleimani works on tsunami inundation mapping for Alaska communities. She uses numerical models of tsunami wave dynamics to identify coastal areas that are at high risk for future tsunamis. She uses modeling results to make community-specific tsunami inundation maps that are used by local emergency officials for evacuation planning and educating the public about tsunami hazards.
