The HRRC is a network of faculty<\/a>, researchers, students, and staff<\/a> interested in hazard and disaster issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n HRRC connects faculty across Texas A&M University who conduct research related to hazards and disasters through our faculty fellow<\/a><\/strong> program, with core faculty fellows who dedicate the majority of the research to hazard topics. We also have HRRC faculty and research affiliates<\/a><\/strong> across many institutions who support the mission of the center and collaborate with us on various projects. Current Ph.D. and masters students who are working on research grants with HRRC faculty are listed below. Undergraduate research assistants are listed on research projects they worked on. Alumni of the center listed show the great work happening due in part to the centers\u2019 educational programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are interested in becoming a fellow or affiliate with the center, please contact Dr. Michelle Meyer at 979.845.7813 or mmeyer@arch.tamu.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amir Behzadan<\/a>, Department of Construction Science <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ann Bowman<\/a>, The Bush School of Government & Public Service<\/p>\n\n\n\n Heng Cai,<\/a> Department of Geography<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shankar Chellam<\/a>, Civil & Environmental Engineering<\/p>\n\n\n\n So-Min Cheong<\/a>, The Bush School of Government & Public Service<\/p>\n\n\n\n Benika Dixon<\/a>, Texas A&M Health Science Center<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rebekka Dudensing<\/a>, Department of Agricultural Economics <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dan Goldberg<\/a>, Department of Sociology<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cecilia Giusti<\/a>, School of Architecture<\/p>\n\n\n\n Youngjib Ham<\/a>, Department of Construction Science<\/p>\n\n\n\n Troy Harden<\/a>, Department of Sociology, Director of Race and Ethnic Studies Institute<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maria Koliou<\/a>, Civil & Environmental Engineering<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dongying Li<\/a>, Department of Landscape Architecture & Urban Planning<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zenon Medina-Cetina<\/a>, Civil & Environmental Engineering<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jason Moats<\/a>, The Bush School of Government & Public Service, TEEX<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ali Mostafavi<\/a>, Civil & Environmental Engineering<\/p>\n\n\n\n Forster Ndubisi<\/a>, Department of Landscape Architecture & Urban Planning<\/p>\n\n\n\n Xiaofeng Nie<\/a>, Department of Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution<\/p>\n\n\n\n Garett Sansom<\/a>, TAMU Public Health<\/p>\n\n\n\n Douglass Shaw, TAMU Agricultural Economics<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kenneth Taylor<\/a>, The Bush School of Government & Public Service<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qingsheng Wang<\/a>, Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering<\/p>\n\n\n\n Christine Wen<\/a>, Department of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zhe Zhang<\/a>, Department of Geography<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lei Zou<\/a>, Department of Geography<\/p>\n\n\n\nJoin the HRRC Family <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
