Rising Stars of Safety, Class of 2024
Sudeep Hegde
Age: 39
Assistant Professor

Clemson, SC
Sudeep is among a handful of experts in the country on the theory and practice of an emerging paradigm in safety and system resilience, often called “Safety II.” This is a proactive safety approach that learns from both adverse events and successful adaptations under similar pressures. He developed methodological tools for eliciting information from frontline workers on everyday adaptations. Sudeep successfully implemented the tools at leading multispecialty hospitals. He has been able to translate such novel concepts to the stage of implementation in large organizations, which is a testament to his ability to articulate theoretically deep concepts to stakeholders in ways that resonate with their operational needs.
