Research Interests

Prof. Kendall’s research applies and advances the methods and perspectives of Industrial Ecology to improve the sustainability of transport, civil infrastructure, energy, and agricultural systems. She is also Director of the Institute of Transportation Studies, the world’s leading research institute of sustainable transportation.

Educational Activities

UC Davis offers multiple interdisciplinary graduate programs dedicated to sustainable energy and transportation.  In addition to our Civil and Environmental Engineering undergraduate and graduate degrees, the following interdisciplinary degree programs may be of interest:

The Energy Graduate Group (EGG), conferring PhD and MS Degrees in Energy Systems is here! Interested in this unique interdisciplinary M.S. and Ph.D. program? Learn more — Check out this link.

The Transportation Technology and Policy (TTP) graduate group offers PhD and MS Degrees in transportation.  Interested in this interdisciplinary degree program?  Check it out here.

We also have a Graduate Academic Certificate in Industrial Ecology. This Certificate is open to all graduate students on campus. Follow the link here for more information on the program and how to apply: http://ie.ucdavis.edu/programs/

Classes I regularly teach include ECI244A/EGG201 Life Cycle Assessment for Sustainable Engineering (offered winter quarter).  This class is a core class for EGG and the Industrial Ecology Certificate (and popular with CEE and TTP students too!)
