Dr. Javernick-Will's research setting is the design, construction and management of engineering infrastructure projects and organizations. Her research group focuses on the sustainability, resilience, and equity of infrastructure, particularly the interface between social and built infrastructure systems, and the multinational organizations that deliver these projects. To study these topics, she integrates social and regulatory considerations with technical factors, employing mixed or qualitative methods. A primary focus area encompasses pre- and post-disaster processes and policies that facilitate resiliency, risk-reduction, and recovery. Another focuses on sustaining, maintaining, and promoting use of infrastructure, such as water and sanitation, by communities and households. Within this area, she also focuses on collective action processes, networks, and systems that sustain service delivery. Within project-based organizations, she studies knowledge mobilization and knowledge networks. Her more recent work focuses on decision making for decarbonization within the infrastructure sector.
