Ariadna has a Ph.D. in Community and Regional Planning from the University of Texas at Austin. As a doctoral student, she was the recipient of the Fulbright fellowship. Her research provides a new perspective for the analysis of climate change mitigation and energy justice in the Global South. By examining the intersection of energy use, informal housing, and transportation, Ariadna seeks to integrate three domains of climate change research that have traditionally been studied separately. Her research sheds light on the efficient and sustainable ways in which people in informal settlements use energy during the process of self-help consolidation and through their daily lives in their communities. From 2009 to 2013, she served as a specialist in sustainable building at the Centro Mario Molina, where she led a study to evaluate the environmental sustainability of the Mexican social housing policy.
