Natalie Coleman is a PhD student at the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Texas A&M University. She is in the construction engineering management program and the Environmental Hazard Management graduate certificate program. She is a graduate research assistant at Urban Resilience.AI, a lab focusing on interdisciplinary and data-driven solutions for infrastructure resilience. Her research examines the social disparities and risk inequalities associated with disruptions in infrastructure services during the disaster impact. She is particularly interested in integrating the physical and social vulnerabilities of impacted communities to promote equitable infrastructure practices. Coleman uses data science, machine learning, and disaster research to understand how communities recover after natural hazards such as Hurricane Harvey, Winter Storm Uri, and Hurricane Ida. This includes quantifying system losses, promoting data transparency, and emphasizing human values in the management and restoration of infrastructure. For her research, she has been awarded the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, the Aviles-Johnson Fellowship, and the PEO Scholar Award. Coleman is the Women in Science and Engineering scholarship chair, a committee member for the Civil and Environmental Engineering Graduate Student Association, and Secretary of the Bill Anderson Fund, Student Executive Board. Coleman is passionate about promoting the next generation of students. She has mentored over 20 undergraduates, volunteered for the Undergraduate Research Division, and advocated for research funds as an AURA Scholar. She regularly presents to K-12 schools with the belief that anyone can be a researcher.
