My research investigates engineering decision making at the system, behavioral, and cognitive levels to encourage less carbon intensive and more user-centered infrastructure system solutions. My approach to research bridges data science and cognitive psychology to engineering for sustainability.
Area of Interest
Engineering decision making for sustainable infrastructure and communities.
Key areas include: (1) judgement and decision making under uncertainty, (2) engineering design methods, (3) engineering education for sustainability.
