Welcome to the AXISD Research Group

Applied Cross-disciplinary Investigations in Science & Design, led by Dr. Fabiana T. Silva

 

The AXISD Research Group investigates the intersections of environmental systems, design, and performance. Our work bridges simulation tools, field-based insights, and design thinking to address urgent challenges in climate adaptation, sustainable infrastructure, and nature-based solutions.

We engage in applied, cross-disciplinary research that supports innovative design processes and fosters collaboration across fields. Current areas of inquiry include coastal protection, air quality, urban resilience, and renewable energy landscapes. Through student-led projects, modeling workflows, and evidence-based strategies, AXISD works to shape more resilient and equitable environments.
