Research Projects
Terrestrial fate & transport of LDPE type plastics:
This research aims to understand the effect of weathering and mechanical abrasion on fragmentation of LDPE plastic types from macro-plastics to micro-plastics.
Community Capacity & Resiliency:
This research aims to understand how the Capacity Factor Analysis (CFA) model can be adapted from community level to family and personal level.
Collaborative Research:
This collaborative, tri-campus researchaims to assess the engineering students’ cultural wealth at:University of Colorado Boulder, James Madison University and Angelo State University. Findings from this research will tremendously assist educators in designing asset-based curriculum changes to achieve newly desired studentoutcomes such as sustainability performance or environmental justice.
