Nancy,Fahrenwald,Professor and Dean,"As a board certified advanced public health nurse, Dr. Fahrenwald has worked in collaboration with local, state, regional and national organizations and groups to translate research evidence into sustainable programs that support tobacco cessation and prevention, improve access to primary health care, and impact chronic disease prevention and control. She has led or provided consultation to 30 funded research or training projects. Her extensive experience with multiple federal agencies focuses on rural health care access and the needs of underserved populations, especially organ and tissue donation education for American Indians.",Dean||Faculty Fellow,Center for Health Systems and Design||School of Nursing,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n0cb1b858

Robert,Brown,Professor,"I am a professor of Landscape Architecture & Urban Planning at the Texas A&M University. I have the privilege of working with a lot of bright and talented students. Through our studies we've come to understand the atmospheric environment in new and often surprising ways. We study how elements in the landscape modify the different components of the microclimate, and how the microclimate affects the thermal comfort of people. By integrating these landscape architects can design environments that modify the microclimate to create thermally comfortable outdoor environments. This is particularly important in the context of global climate change and intensification of urban heat islands.",Faculty Fellow||Professor,Center for Health Systems and Design||Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n0e3856dd
Anthony,Knap,Professor and Director,"Dr. Knap's primary research focuses include oceanography, organic geochemistry, environmental science, atmosphere/ocean interactions, oil pollution and dispersant use, and effects of contaminants on the marine environment. Global climate change is another area of interest, particularly climate instability, business/science interactions, renewable energy, marine derived bio-fuels, ocean genomics, ocean acidification. He was Founder and Principal Investigator of the NSF-funded Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) off Bermuda. He was also the Principal Investigator for 30 years of Hydrostation S, founded in 1954 and the longest continuous time-series in the Ocean, also funded by NSF. He most recently was appointed to the Gulf Research Board of the US National Academy of Sciences.","Professor||Faculty Affiliate||Director, Geochemical and Environmental Research Group||Faculty Fellow",Center for Health Systems and Design||Oceanography||Energy Institute||College of Geosciences,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n15ee86bc

Sherecce,Fields,Professor,"My research focuses on the trans-disease processes of cognitive and emotional dysregulation and how these factors affect health-risk behaviors in adolescents. Identifying trans-disease processes that contribute to the development or maintenance of multiple diagnostic categories -- that underlie both substance use and obesity -- can enhance the development of interventions that target the underlying process rather than specific symptoms of a single disorder. This not only provides a more efficient approach to treatment, it is particularly relevant to health disparities. I am especially interested in how these trans-disease processes interact with family, social, and psychological factors to increase engagement in health-related risk behaviors, and the development of appropriate prevention and intervention tools that can be used to improve health outcomes in youth. I conceptualize these processes in the context of physical and mental health disparities as they relate to stress, minority status (race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender) and socioeconomic factors (food insecurity).",Faculty Fellow||Professor||Associate Department Head||Faculty Affiliate||Associate Professor,Center for Health Systems and Design||Institute for Engineering Education and Innovation,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n9f216306
