Richards will allocate the funds towards continued research in the intersection of computational design and community engagement: digital placemaking.
Dr. Stephanie Pilat initiated this prestigious recognition during the 2018-2019 academic year. The fellowship will annually recognize a new recipient for excellence in research and scholarly activity.
