Arielle Kaim is a dedicated researcher at Tel Aviv University's School of Public Health, Department of Emergency and Disaster Management. She holds a Master of Public Health with a focus on this field and is currently advancing her studies as a PhD candidate. She was awarded the prestigious Ariane De Rothschild Doctoral Fellowship from the Edmond de Rothschild Foundation in support of her doctoral research. Arielle’s research interests encompass disaster medicine, emergency preparedness and response, disaster management, and resilience at the individual, community, and societal levels. She has authored over 30 papers in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals and has presented her findings at leading national and international conferences. Beyond her academic work, Arielle has consulted for the Israeli Ministry of Health and the European Commission on emergency and disaster response. She also was a researcher at the Israel National Center for Trauma & Emergency Medicine Research, part of the Gertner Institute of Epidemiology and Health Policy Research.

Arielle's doctoral work, titled "Measuring the Effectiveness of Emergency Medical Team Deployments in Disaster Response: A Data-Driven Approach," aims to establish and validate a comprehensive framework for assessing the effectiveness of Emergency Medical Team deployments in disaster scenarios. This framework is designed to identify and address deficiencies in current deployments and to enhance the preparedness and efficiency of these teams for real-time emergency response. Currently, there is no established evaluation paradigm for assessing the performance of deployed Emergency Medical Teams and their respective field hospitals. Through her research, Arielle seeks to fill this critical gap and provide valuable insights for improving emergency medical responses globally.
