I’d like to invite prospective PhD students in your network to apply to my group in Rice Civil and Environmental Engineering, where I’m starting in January.
Research will focus on developing infrastructure management strategies that integrate nonstructural instruments (including insurance, nature-based solutions, early warning systems, and household-scale adaptation) into existing infrastructure to improve near-term system performance while simultaneously increasing capacity to flexibly manage deeply uncertain long-term changes. Through generative environmental modeling, uncertainty quantification/characterization, and optimization as well as deep collaboration with academic and community partners, we’re hunting for for effective and widely applicable strategies.
Strong candidates have strong quantitative and critical thinking skills, are curious to explore new ideas, perspectives, and methods, and can clearly articulate their research goals. Funding is not tied to a particular project but applicants should articulate interest in mission-oriented basic research that advances the broad themes described above.
