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

Kristen Cetin Ph.D.
Dr. Kristen Cetin is an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. She researches building energy use and performance, including how to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy use, and reduce peak electric grid load contributions, as well as building sustainability. She is also interested in smart technologies, and how the use and integration of sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) can enhance building performance, comfort, and real-time assessment of performance. She received here PhD at University of Texas at Austin. Prior to her PhD studies, Dr Cetin worked in the commercial building consulting industry at Simpson Gumpertz & Heger in the Building Technology division. She is a registered Professional Engineer and an active member of ASHRAE.
