Sustainability Research Directory

Shawn E. McKenzie, MPH, is interested in food systems, sustainability, and behavior change communication.

Tyrel M. McQueen, PhD, and his research group aim to achieve the next generation of materials revolutions by combining the development of new synthetic techniques with advances in measurement and analysis methods to discover, design, and control materials with exotic electronic states of matter.

Mahdi Mehrtash, PhD, has research interests in global/stochastic/distributed optimization, zero energy buildings, power system optimization, and the electricity market.

Charles Meneveau, PhD, is associate director of the Institute for Data-Intensive Science and Engineering (IDIES) and an expert in the small scale dynamics of turbulence, large-eddy simulations, and wind farm fluid dynamics.

Scot M. Miller, PhD, studies the emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants. His lab, the Greenhouse Gas Research Group, uses observations of greenhouse gases collected from airplanes, towers, and satellites to estimate emissions across individual states to continents.

Rajat Mittal, PhD, is an expert in computational fluid dynamics. His recent research has focused on control of flow separation over aircraft wings, energy harvesting using flow-induced flutter, computational modeling and analysis of heart murmurs, and the formation of blood clots in the heart.
