Associate Professor Shideh Dashti won a Green Faculty Award through the Campus Sustainability Awards Program for her leadership in establishing RISE, a research initiative focusing on climate change, disaster resilience, and sustainability, highlighting climate vulnerabilities of incarcerated populations in Colorado.

Seventy-five percent of incarceration facilities in the state are vulnerable to climate-related hazards, such as wildfires, extreme heat, floods or landslides, and many are ill-equipped to handle them, new research by Geotechnical Engineering Professor Shideh Dashti suggests.

In this interview with Shideh Dashti, an associate professor of civil, environmental and architectural engineering, Dashti shares her thoughts on the recent and devestating floods in Libya and earthquake in Morocco, what engineers can learn from these events and how countries can build resilient cities.

Shideh Dashti, an associate professor of civil, environmental and architectural engineering and acting associate dean for research in the College of Engineering and Applied Science, says the geology underlying Turkey and Syria shares a lot in common with the West Coast of the United States.

Engineering a sustainable and equitable future takes innovation and collaboration. Shideh Dashti is the Acting Associate Dean of Research at CU Â鶹ӰԺ's College of Engineering & Applied Science, as well as an Associate Professor in the Civil,

Acting Dean Keith Molenaar has selected Shideh Dashti to serve as the acting associate dean for research in the college. Dashti will start in May 2022. “I am honored to be selected and to serve in this important role in our own community and
