My research interests focus on developing artificial intelligence and digitization methods to optimize manufacturing systems that prioritize human-centric design and promote robotics learning.

My research integrates data visualization, artificial intelligence, and human-AI interaction to develop data analysis and visualization techniques and systems that enhance understanding and decision-making for complex societal issues and human behaviors.

I study the evolution and ecology of beneficial host-microbe interactions. I am interested in understanding how these associations persist in complex, species-rich environments. 

My research focuses on transportation policy and planning to inform policy and practice for equitable and resilient transportation systems and cities in the USA and globally. My teaching interests include quantitative methods, spatial analytics, data science, and transportation planning. 

I design and study meaningful and engaging ways for students and teachers to reconceptualize science education to be unintimidating, rigorous, and just.

My research centers around development economics and economic demography.

My current research interests include (i) topological data analysis, (ii) manifold learning, (iii) fMRI data analysis, and (iv) Euler calculus. My previous research interest was in harmonic analysis and dispersive partial differential equations. 

My research studies Governance and Policy (water & environmental).

My research explores contemporary performance artists and theatrical venues, particularly how food and environmental matter is utilized in both small and large scales of art practice.

My research explores the leadership of past and present student activists who have reshaped educational institutions to reflect the cultural and linguistic assets of their communities. I teach courses on public rhetorics, community writing, and research methods in writing studies.
