Carla López del Puerto's work focuses on making infrastructure and communities more resilient to natural disasters, especially in coastal and rural areas like Puerto Rico. Much of her recent research combines engineering topics—such as disaster shelters, flood risk, and transportation network failures—with education-focused projects that develop learning materials and programs to help students, including underrepresented and Hispanic students, pursue careers in resilient infrastructure. Her publication record spans both technical engineering studies and engineering-education scholarship.
