Casie's doctoral research focused on post-disaster housing safety, examining 10 post-disater housing programs in the Philippines following 2013's Typhoon Haiyan. She assessed both household perceptions of housing safety and the wind performance of post-disaster housing, eventually comparing the two to identify where household perceptions and engineering assessments aligned and misaligned. Her work was supported through the National Science Foundation project and the ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ Seed Grant forÌýPost-Disaster Housing Reconstruction: Participation, Performance, and Community Resilience. She was awarded a United States Agency for International Development Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) Humanitarian Shelter and Settlements Graduate Fellowship. She was collaboratively advised by Dr. Amy Javernick-Will and Dr. Abbie Liel.
