I run re-Engineered, an interdisciplinary group that embeds environmental protection, social justice, peace, and human rights in engineering. Some areas of work and teaching include:
- collaborations and tools mobilizing engineers, scientists, and community groups to address environmental, climate, and energy challenges
- embedding principles of justice into energy technology design
- the future of environmental governance
- space system design
- activist engineering
- Constellation Prize
You can read more about what we do on our group website here, and at our group blog here.

From philosophy to education to practice, I am passionate about creating an engineering profession that embeds the values of environmental protection, social justice, peace, and human rights at the heart of engineering. Engineers have and will continue to be integral in the design and development of technologies that shape human relationship to the Earth. Thus, to infuse engineers with ideals of justice, with practical tools to understand the impact of their work on people and the Earth, and with the ability to work intimately with those who have different kinds of knowledge and experiences, is to change the world.
Why are we engineers? For whose benefit do we work? What is the full measure of our moral and social responsibility?
