Dr. Faust’s work spans the project phase during construction through the operations phase, exploring human-infrastructure interactions, infrastructure in- terdependencies, and the institutional environment. Current studies within her research group include: human-water sector infrastructure interdependencies in cities experiencing urban decline; disaster migra- tion and the resilience of the built environment; incorporating equity into water infrastructure decision- making; sociotechnical modeling of infrastructure systems including gentrification and food
