Ashley Green
PhD student Civil and Environmental Engineering
I am interested in improving pathogen detection and removal techniques for the advancement of water reuse practices to create more water security. Water resource management interests me because of the opportunities to engage with the public, create more equitable water access, and participate in the public policy process.
Alexis Guerra
Environmental and Occupational Health | Faculty Advisor: Sunny Jiang
My research interests focus on coastal ocean microbiomes and water quality along urban communities. My goals are to identify how microbial pathogens carried by human waste flowing to the ocean affect the health of microbiomes, coastal ecosystems, and, ultimately, human communities.
Neda Ibrahim
Undergraduate student Environmental Science and Policy
Annika Hjelmsted
PhD Student Civil and Environmental Engineering
My current research focuses on impact-based climate change attribution that directly maps increases in human emissions to felt impacts such as mortality and infrastructure damage. My research interests include stochastic hydrology, urban flooding, climate change, climate extremes, computation, and the intersections of science with policy.

Major in Political science, Environmental science & Policy
With my studies, I hope to build a career working at the nexus of sustainability, justice, and liberation. My focus will be on policy analysis, seeking systemic change in American culture and institutions.
Tim Schütz

My research focuses on how communities use digital data and infrastructure to effectively address entangled economic, environmental and public health challenges. I co-develop the Formosa Plastics Global Archive, a digital collection that documents environmental pollution by one of the world’s largest petrochemical companies, operating in Taiwan, Vietnam, Louisiana, and Texas.
