Dr. Caughman serves as Co-PI for Weaving Relations, an NSF Racial Equity in STEM grant focused on team science experience for Indigenous and Latinx graduate scholars. They are also on the research teams working on Water Stories, and Just Energy Transitions. This work supports the development of knowledge, expertise, and abilities of Tribal and rural decision makers to plan and prepare for climate variability and change.
Outside of work, Liliana enjoys spending time outdoors exploring the world with her spouse and son, as well as cooking and eating Puerto Rican food as a way connect with her culture and ancestors.
