Ira A Fulton Engineering
Mattheus Porto is an interdisciplinary infrastructure and urban systems scientist whose research examines how infrastructure systems planning can foster resilience by encompassing the social, environmental, and technological challenges of the 21st century. He is currently a PhD student in Sustainable Engineering in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment. His research focuses on the management of infrastructure failure under unpredictable external shocks, and tradeoff analysis in infrastructure planning under deep uncertainty. Apart from research, he has a special appreciation for the history and geography of the Western United States.
