Dr. Salley’s research focuses on developing equitable infrastructure systems and services within urban environments to enhance community resilience, specifically in the context of disaster and crisis management. Her work explores applications of cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (e.g., Natural Language Processing) and centers on understanding societal systems and addressing ethical considerations, with a particular focus on vulnerable populations. Employing a transdisciplinary, socio-technical approach, she leverages mixed methods techniques for data analysis and problem-solving. Her overarching goal is to foster innovation, advance responsible research practices, and create a lasting positive impact on society.
