Adam Nayak
Acting Assistant Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioAdam Nayak will join Stanford Civil & Environmental Engineering as an Assistant Professor in Summer 2027. His research examines how the spatiotemporal organization of storms, floods, and droughts shapes risk across interconnected infrastructure, financial, and energy systems. Broadly, Adam’s work aims to bridge climate risk, stochastic hydrology, and machine learning to support resilient and affordable pathways for communities facing intensifying climate extremes. Adam is currently a postdoctoral research associate at Princeton University in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, focused on research in hurricane hazards and risk analysis. He received his PhD from Columbia University in Earth & Environmental Engineering where he was a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellow, and his BS and MS from Stanford University in Civil & Environmental Engineering and Management Science & Engineering, respectively.

Luke Neal
Masters Student in Chemical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2025
BioI'm currently a process engineer at Merck working at the Formulation and Laboratory Experimentation Facility with a focus on oral solid dosage production. I recently graduated from Yale University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Chemical Engineering and an Energy Studies certificate. At Yale, I was on the Varsity Men's Tennis team. My internship experiences during undergraduate studies included working as a Process Engineering Intern in ExxonMobil’s Technology and Engineering division. I was focused on modeling the extraction of battery grade lithium from brine. I also gained experience in the renewable energy and green engineering fields though my internships at Tesla and West Environmental.

Dale Nesbitt
Adjunct Lecturer, Management Science and Engineering
BioDr. Nesbitt has been teaching MSE 252 (Decision Analysis), MSE 352 (Professional Decision Analysis), MSE 353 (Advanced Decision Analysis), MSE 299 (Coercion Free Social Systems), and MSE 254 (The Ethical Analyst) in the department. He has practiced and taught in these fields, and economic modeling, for several decades.
Dr. Nesbitt has been researching Bayesian statistical analysis, ethics, and ethical theories in a general setting (i.e., personal ethics not necessarily associated with any particular field or discipline). His research focuses on ethics per se, not ethics related to a specific technology, commodity, discipline, area, or practice. He is currently focused on ethics from a socio-personal perspective, one in which coercion is minimized or sanctioned, one that blends the utilitarian approach of Harsanyi, Mill, Bentham, and others with the uncoerced game theory approach of Nash and Harsanyi. The objective of this research is to give a roadmap for people (and groups) to behave ethically and do good and also to be able to consider ethical decision making under uncertainty.
Dr. Nesbitt is completing a monograph on Bayesian Linear Regression intended to unify key dimensions of the field around a pure Bayesian probabilistic viewpoint, what he calls “unabashed Bayes.” The monograph is scheduled for completion in 2022. Dr. Nesbitt continues to research and practice Bayesian regression and probabilistic analysis, recently applying it to disciplines such as automobile selection, jet technology and fuel projection, and petrochemicals demand.
Dr. Nesbitt has focused for many years on building economic-environmental models of the key energy commodities—oil and refined products, natural gas, petrochemicals, automobiles, electric power generation, natural gas and electricity storage, renewable energy, environmental emissions and remediation, and demand/emission. His models and work in the field are well known, extending the classical economic equilibrium approach.
Dr. Nesbitt has worked and published in the field of semi-Markovian Decision Problems (the area of his thesis at Stanford), energy economics, cartels and monopolies, methods for modeling markets, Bayesian statistics, and free (meaning uncoerced) social systems. -

Sabrina Nicacio
Masters Student in Aeronautics and Astronautics, admitted Autumn 2025
BioSabrina Nicacio is a Knight-Hennessy Scholar and graduate student in Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University, specializing in Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC). She earned her B.S.E. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University with a Minor in Robotics and Intelligent Systems.
Sabrina has delivered technical results across leading aerospace institutions—designing flight hardware for Starship launch operations at SpaceX, developing multi-robot navigation algorithms for NASA JPL’s CADRE lunar mission at Stanford, and improving heat treatment processes for 3D-printed turbine blades at MIT. Her senior thesis at Princeton introduced a fuel-optimal reconfiguration framework for satellite swarms, applying convex optimization to orbital dynamics.
Sabrina is focused on building scalable, autonomous systems for spacecraft coordination and precision navigation. Her work reflects a deep technical foundation and a drive to solve mission-critical challenges in spaceflight. -

Kopal Nihar
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar working with Dr. Catherine Gorle, Dr. Sarah Billington and Dr. Rishee Jain. I also did a PhD from Stanford advised by Dr Rishee Jain at Urban Informatics Lab. My research interest lies in understanding data-driven human-building interactions and impact of indoor air quality on occupant behaviour, especially for the purpose of natural cooling.
