Sarah Billington
The Gary Retelny and Family Chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, UPS Foundation Professor, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioMy group's research is driven by two questions: how do built environments impact human wellbeing, and how can human-centered engineering design improve and amplify these wellbeing impacts? We examine how built features shape wellbeing across diverse populations and settings. These features range from access to nature and material choices to the use of ambient intelligence systems. With this knowledge, we develop tools, methods, and design interventions to improve wellbeing. We pursue this work through direct collaboration with those most affected, from older adults and caregivers to residents, communities, and the workers and practitioners who shape the built environment itself. In the past, my group focused on the design and evaluation of sustainable, durable construction materials including bio-based composites and ductile cement-based composites.
