Imagining a Different Waterscape
the Case of Community Aqueducts in Puerto Rico--This research explores whether different systems of water governance affect disaster resilience, by focusing on the case of Puerto Rico’s Non-PRASA communities—which are community aqueducts that are not served by the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Agency (PRASA).

Risk Perception, Disasters and Social Networks
My postdoc experience at UCI Civil and Environmental Engineering Department under Professor Brett Sanders and Doug Houston focuses on understanding post-wildfire flooding hazards in urban areas along the wildland-urban interface (WUI) in Riverside County, CA. The project seeks to advance understanding of WUI dynamics, risks, and opportunities for increased flood resilience, considering three interwoven elements: environmental hazards (wildfire, mud/debris, and flooding), the built environment (stormwater infrastructure), and at-risk low-income populations.
