Using his research and development experiences, he will develop a course on peace and conflict resolution, 准备发表文章, and give presentations to the campus community.

Mark Valenzuela, Associate Professor of Engineering

Valenzuela

Dr. Valenzuela will focus primarily on the Harlaxton Manor building, 例如, the influence of the Elizabethan and Jacobean styles on this Victorian House; and the layout of rooms and passageways to embody the ideal functioning of a Victorian household. There has been little to no scholarship on the gardens and grounds surrounding the house itself. 不幸的是, uncovering similarities between the landscaping at Harlaxton and other gardens is made difficult by the sheer size of the grounds. This research project proposed to do an extensive ground survey of the landscape surrounding the manor house to create a computer-generated three-dimensional model that will help in comparison with other gardens and grounds and that may reveal features that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye.
