Dr. Satish Chandra is a former Programme Director and Chairman, Structures and Materials Cluster at the National Aerospace Laboratories and presently, Director at Healthseq, a precision medicine and health systems company. He has spent an entire career looking at safety and risk in aviation. He established a crashworthiness laboratory dealing with aircraft and automotive safety and has experience with social and organizational behavior and its impact on risk perception. Overall, Dr. Chandra's expertise has combined research and technology with the broader aspects of regulatory compliance, technology development, operating economics and public policy. He has a Ph.D from the University of Bristol from a systems engineering laboratory that has recognized work in dealing with human errors and organisational behaviour as contributory causes to accidents. The book draws on the Boeing 737 Max accidents and the pandemic and is shaped by the author's earlier experience. Dr. Chandra has been particularly interested in sociology theories on accidents, and a view of developing a broader perspective regarding risk perception by embedding issues of human behaviour and sociology into regulation, especially in healthcare and aviation. Dr. Chandra has published work in aircraft design for safety and related areas. He has served as a reviewer and has been on editorial boards of technology journals.
