Dr. Laura M. Arpan is the Theodore Clevenger Professor of Communication and Director of Doctoral Studies in the School of Communication at Florida State University. Dr. Arpan’s research examines risk perceptions, human motivation and responses to pro-environmental messages, interventions, and related technologies. Her projects focus on the effectiveness of promotional messages and outreach efforts designed to encourage sustainable behaviors such as energy conservation and efficiency. Recent work has examined Americans’ attitudes toward energy conservation and sustainability, factors enhancing the effectiveness of information campaign messages promoting energy-use-reduction and sustainability

Andrea Mammoli, Ph.D.
Andrea Mammoli conducts research in distribution-scale energy systems, with a particular emphasis on the interaction between buildings and power distribution for the purpose of increasing the fraction of energy from renewable resources. Examples of this research include thermal and battery storage systems, system schedule optimization and demand response algorithms. Mammoli led the modernization project for the UNM Mechanical Engineering building's solar-assisted HVAC system, which now serves as a living laboratory to conduct research and to train engineers in this fast-developing field. In the past, Mammoli also
conducted research on low Reynolds number fluid mechanics, including flow of particle suspensions and mixing in microfluidic devices, using a combination of experiments and numerical simulations on high-performance parallel computers.
