Hart,Blanton,Professor,"My primary emphases are (a) health psychology & health communication, (b) social, normative and media influence, (c) attitude change and attitude-behavior modeling, and (d) psychometrics, assessment and research methodology. Much of my current and forthcoming research focuses on social influence processes occurring within immersive virtual reality environments, with a particular emphasis on utilizing virtual gaming worlds to deliver health communications. My applied areas are health-risk prevention, science communication, and implicit and explicit bias assessment and modeling",Professor and Department Head||Faculty Fellow,Center for Health Systems and Design,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n0647e950
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
Sarbajit,Banerjee,Professor,"Much of our research program is directed at understanding the interplay between geometric and electronic structure at interfaces as well as in solid-state materials and to examine how this translates to functional properties. Our research thus spans the range from materials synthesis, mechanistic understanding of crystal growth processes, and structural characterization to device integration and mechanistic studies of catalysis and intercalation phenomena. We further seek to translate fundamental understanding of interfaces and materials to develop functional thin films and devices for a wide range of applications ranging from Mott memory to thermochromic window coatings and thin films for the corrosion protection of steel.",Professor||Faculty Fellow||Faculty Affiliate,Center for Health Systems and Design||Energy Institute||Chemistry,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n1fff3688

James,Batteas,Professor,"The research in our group is organized around three main projects: nanoscale materials and devices, biological surfaces and interfaces and nanotribology,
with the overarching goal of developing custom engineered surfaces and interfaces. This requires obtaining a fundamental (molecular level) understanding of the underlying chemistry and physics of the systems in question to afford rational approaches to test and develop new technologies. In much of our research we employ a range of scanned probe microscopies such as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to probe structure and to manipulate materials at the nanoscale.",Faculty Affiliate||Professor||Faculty Fellow||D.

Regina,Bentley,Clinical Associate Professor,"Dr. Bentley has participated in research and service learning projects involving interprofessional education and service learning in health care. From leading student teams in Bolivia and Ecuador, to introducing interprofessional simulation to medical and nursing faculty, she has developed skills and expertise in this emerging topic area. Research projects include, ""An Interdisciplinary Education Model Applied to an Interprofessional Health Care Ethics Course,"" ""Learning Together: An Interprofessional Program for Medical and Nursing Students Visiting Wards of the Court,"" ""Interprofessional Education in a Healthcare Ethics Course,"" and ""A Faculty Development Collaborative to Support the Use of Interprofessional Simulation in Central Texas"". Dr. Bentley has presented findings on interprofessional programs and simulation as well as barriers to interprofessional education at conferences which have included the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine Conference on Medical Student Education, Association for the Behavioral Sciences and Medical Education, National League for Nursing's Education Summit, and American Association of Colleges of Nursing Baccalaureate Education Conference.","Faculty Fellow||Assistant Vice Chancellor, TAMUS||Clinical Associate Professor - Term Appointment",Center for Health Systems and Design||The Texas A&M University System||School of Nursing,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n484a29ed
Liliana,Beltran,Associate Professor,"Dr. Liliana Beltran has lectured and published extensively on topics of daylighting, energy efficiency in buildings, advanced lighting technologies, climatic responsive architecture and tools for green building design.

Craig,Borchardt,Assistant Professor,"Craig Borchardt, PhD, is an assistant professor in the Department of Humanities in Medicine at the Texas A&M College of Medicine. Borchardt teaches palliative and end-of-life care, spirituality and faith in medicine, and medical ethics and serves Co-Director of Practice of Medicine 3, a course for second year medical students. He led the effort to include and expand palliative care content in the College of Medicine curriculum.
Dr. Borchardt is President and Chief Executive Officer of Hospice Brazos Valley, a non-profit, community owned, organization providing hospice and palliative care in 17 counties in central Texas. He has been involved in the hospice and palliative care movement for over 30 years and currently serves as the Past-Chair of the Texas Non-Profit Hospice Alliance, a consortium of 20 non-profit hospices dedicated to expanding the non-profit hospice model throughout Texas.
He is also a faculty advisor for the John Montgomery Chapter of the Arnold P. Gold Humanism in Medicine Society.
Dr. Borchardt received his PhD from Texas A&M University in 1996. He holds additional graduate degrees from Wartburg Theological Seminary, Dubuque, Iowa, and Loyola University, New Orleans. He completed his undergraduate work at the University of Texas at Austin.",Assistant Professor||Faculty Fellow,Center for Health Systems and Design||School of Medicine,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/nb66eae23
