Mariana Alfonso Fragomeni is Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture at University of Connecticut's College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources, with joint affiliation at Connecticut Institute for Resilience & Climate Adaptation (CIRCA). Her research examines heat vulnerability mitigation through urban design.

Research integrates urban climatology and human bioclimatology to develop adaptive strategies for cities, focusing on heat perception in vulnerable populations. Projects investigate how land-use planning and design interventions impact thermal comfort and public health.
