Kasey Faust

Kasey, originally from Anchorage, Alaska, is currently an associate professor of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. She earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Washington (Go Dawgs!). Thereafter, she attended Purdue University for her masters and doctorate. She has worked in industry and policy before her current position. Kasey is also a wife and a mom of two amazing kids.

Kasey primarily explores sociotechnical water infrastructure systems and their ability to respond or adapt to changing operating conditions or extreme events (acute, protracted, or chronic stressors). She is interested in the technical performance of WIS when these systems operate in contexts that no longer align with the system’s original, intended operating environment. Fundamentally, this work targets equity and inclusion as it relates to the built environment.
