Casie's doctoral research focused on post-disaster housing safety, examining 10 post-disater housing programs in the Philippines following 2013's Typhoon Haiyan. She assessed both household perceptions of housing safety and the wind performance of post-disaster housing, eventually comparing the two to identify where household perceptions and engineering assessments aligned and misaligned. Her work was supported through the National Science Foundation project and the University of Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder Seed Grant forÌýPost-Disaster Housing Reconstruction: Participation, Performance, and Community Resilience. She was awarded a United States Agency for International Development Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) Humanitarian Shelter and Settlements Graduate Fellowship.
