MiguelAndr´es’s research includes sustainable infrastructure design and planning, smart and resilient cities, and the development of engineers who not only have strong technical and practical knowledge but the social awareness and agency to address global humanitarian, environmental, and social justice challenges. For him, social justice is a concept that should always be involved in discussions on infrastructure. Related to STEM education, Miguel Andr´es is in developing and applying contemporary pedagogies for STEM courses, teaching empathy studies in engineering as a tool for innovation, and assessing engineering students’ agency to address climate change

The more complicated three-fan setupwas designed to experimentally analyze the flight capabilities of drones flying in a turbulent region where themagnitude of airflow is constantly changing. This experiment mimics turbulent regions that would take placebetween several wind turbines as they are rotating. The final experiment dealt with the measurements of airflowsurrounding a small-scale horizontal axis wind turbine in a Lab environment as it is driven by wind generatedfrom a blower.
