Priscilla Kirabo

Priscilla is a third-year BS/MS student majoring in civil engineering with a keen interest in sustainability and the environment. Her interest in sustainability peaked in the summer of 2022 when she had the opportunity to do research in the Advanced Infrastructure Materials (AIM) lab through STAR. She learned about the application of phase change materials to make more sustainable infrastructure materials such as self-heating concrete. Priscilla now works on the Bio FRC project. She aspires to pursue a career in civil engineering to develop and design engineering projects with high material and energy efficiency to minimize environmental impact.

Through RISE, Priscilla will be conducting research on developing cementitious materials with recycled combustion slag at Technische Hochschule Köln in Cologne, Germany.

Priscilla has been involved in the Pennoni Honors College through the Honors Program and as a 2022 STAR Scholar.
