This project, Building the Backdrop, Expanding Perspectives on Sustainability, is a sculpture of a desert sunset that seeks to explore important sustainability issues and highlight the beauty in sustainable practices. Constructed for an honors thesis project at Arizona State University, the primary medium used was cardboard repurposed from package deliveries to bring attention to modern overconsumption of packaging materials and showcase our ability to give new life to traditionally single use materials. I invite you to interact with the piece by sharing photos of yourself in front of it to help spread its message and exploring the resources shared along with the sculpture.

A Wider Perspective of Cycling in Tempe, Arizona

Cycling is the most energy efficient mode of transportation. Bikes are critical for addressing climate change, and contribute to a more active population, safer streets, and lower household expenditures on transportation. Given this, understanding how existing cycling infrastructure is being used, including where and when, helps decision makers know what to invest in. This project does exactly that, counting cyclists and other active travel users in the city of Tempe across a whole day, and across the whole north of the city. Cycling in Tempe is already attractive in some areas of the city, but not others. The findings from this project were shared with stakeholders and community members in an interactive web map.

Quantum Entanglement and Bell's Inequality

We discuss the intricate and puzzling concept of quantum entanglement, and not only define it but also consider the implications of the behaviors of entangled particles. The ability of these particles to provide instantaneous information about their entangled counterparts sparked a debate among physicists as to whether or not these particles had definite quantities before measurement, and whether or not their behaviors could be explained by a local hidden-variables theorem. Mermin’s gedanken demonstration for a two-particle entangled system is introduced, as well as Bell’s inequality, and an explanation of how a pair of two entangled particles violate this inequality. Additionally, we also discuss various experimental verifications that were able to use Bell’s inequality to verify the expected quantum mechanical results for their entangled systems.

Terrestrial hermit crabs serve an incredibly important ecological role in seed dispersal and as decomposers along coastal shorelines. They have also become quite popular in the commercial pet trade, with one species, Coenobita clypeatus, being particularly favored. Typically, these hermit crabs are easily captured and removed from the wild with little protection in their native ranges. In Hermitage Bay, Tobago, there is little information about the population numbers, composition, shell preference, and substrate preference of C. clypeatus in their native habitat. In this study, we estimated population size, gastropod shell preferences, and substrate preference conditions when clustering. We conducted mark re-capture surveys in March, July, and December 2023 and collected morphological data from captured hermit crabs. Our results indicate that the estimated population was highest in July, with the variation being significant when using the Schnabel mark re-capture estimation formula. The most common overall shell type, Columbella mercatoria (West Indian Dove Shell), was prevalent among the smaller sized, younger hermit crabs; while the larger hermit crabs preferred Cittarium pica (West Indian Top Shell). The most preferred substrate for these terrestrial hermit crabs were areas with a mixture of sand and dirt, with high amounts of vegetation and leaf waste and low amounts of human litter. These results suggest a predominantly young population and that beach cleanups should focus on removing human litter entirely, while leaving leaf waste and other fallen logs and branches and not using the collected decomposing plant matter for bonfires. This can help maintain a healthy hermit crab population that continues to benefit the coastlines in Tobago as well as other ecosystems.

In exploration of the negative reputation of gender-inclusive housing (GIH) among LGBTQ+ students at Arizona State University (ASU), this study seeks to investigate the extent to which ASU student housing inadvertently replicates structural discrimination and social inequities through its conceptualization and implementation of GIH. The present study is guided by four core research questions: (1) are GIH students more likely to report negative user experiences than non-GIH students? (2) are GIH students more likely to report poor housing outcomes than non-GIH students? (3) are GIH students more likely to report poor communications with Housing staff than non-GIH students? (4) are GIH students less likely to recommend University Housing to their peers than non-GIH students? In defining answers to these core research questions, the present study employs a four-pronged research methodology: (1) student survey; (2) student interviews; (3) faculty interview; (4) analysis of existing GIH models. Findings from the student survey, student interviews, and faculty interview elucidate answers to three of the four research questions, with GIH students being more likely to report negative user experiences and poor housing outcomes, and being more likely to recommend University Housing. Findings relating to housing outcomes were inconclusive, demonstrating the need for additional research. Synthesizing these findings with those of the analysis of existing housing models, the present study proposes three specific design solutions for consideration by ASU administration as they invest in systems redesign – decenter student gender in core University Housing system, establish a GIH living-learning community and dedicated staff team comprising Queer faculty, and expand residential community options for all students along cultural identities and extracurricular interests.

Empathy facilitates connections between individuals and fluctuates throughout life, affecting emotions, views, and interactions. Research suggests that behaviorism offers the most logical explanation for the current state of empathy in the United States. While the consequences of interactions with one’s environment have shaped covert and overt empathy behaviors in individuals and groups of individuals across civilizations, this paper combines research from three sectors to illustrate how interactions in the school, art museum, and healthcare environments reverberate significantly throughout American society. Although behaviorism is a major contributing theory throughout this paper, and it is especially relevant in schools, other theories are employed to show various constructs of empathy. Americans tip the scale heavily in favor of individualism over collectivism. The American Dream focuses on individual achievement and welfare, which directly challenges the concept of empathy. This paper delineates the history of empathy in the United States within the three sectors and illustrates how a thoughtfully manipulated school, museum, and healthcare environment can play a vital role in increasing empathy across American society.
