Carrasquillo’s research focuses on understanding current engineering processes (particularly in the design, implementation, and O&M project phases) to develop more just decision-making practices for stormwater management and green infrastructure in coastal Black and Brown communities. More broadly, her current research explores ways to incorporate justice into critical infrastructure design and practice across the food, energy, water, and technology nexus, particularly for communities on the margins who are most often underserved and under-resourced.
