We focus on the development and application of quantitative analysis methods such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), as well as techno-economic and decision-making methods to identify opportunities—and pathways—to better align the provision of engineering systems with sustainability. Our work is also intended as a guide for policy- and decision-making around the built environment, including large infrastructure such as energy, transportation, and water systems. Through highly interdisciplinary work, the group brings together components of civil, environmental, chemical, and mechanical engineering, as well as economics and public policy.
