Dr. Maya Carrasquillo
Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, UC Berkeley
Dr. Maya Carrasquillo is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. She holds a B.S. in Environmental Engineering, and a minor in History from the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from the University of South Florida. Dr. Carrasquillo considers herself to be an ‘anthropological engineer’ exploring the ways in which histories and cultures impact the built environment. Her research has primarily studied the intersections of stormwater management, environmental justice, and complex hydrosocial systems. More recently, her research can broadly be described as infrastructural justice for the most vulnerable communities. Dr. Carrasquillo is a Huelskamp Faculty Fellow which recognizes a promising new assistant professor in UC Berkeley’s College of Engineering for their innovative research. She is also the Inaugural Faculty Director of UC Berkeley’s new initiative for Community Engaged Education in Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE2).
