Craig Criddle
Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCriddle's interests include microbial biotechnology for the circular economy, including recovery of clean water from used water, renewable energy, valuable materials that can replace fossil-carbon derived materials. Current projects include energy-efficient anaerobic wastewater treatment technology, assessment of new treatment trains that yield high quality water; fossil carbon plastics biodegradation, and biotechnology for production of bioplastics that can replace fossil carbon plastics.

Jenna Davis
Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, of Environmental Social Sciences and Higgins-Magid Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsProfessor Davis’ research and teaching deals broadly with the role that water plays in promoting public health and economic development, with particular emphasis on low- and middle-income countries. Her group conducts applied research that utilizes theory and analytical methods from public and environmental health, engineering, microeconomics, and planning. They have conducted field research in more than 20 countries, most recently including Zambia, Bangladesh, and Kenya.

Kristen Davis
Associate Professor of Oceans and, by courtesy, of Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioI am an engineer and oceanographer who is interested in studying how physical processes shape coastal waters – combining principles of fluid mechanics, oceanography, and ecology. I use both field observations and numerical tools to examine circulation in the ocean, its natural variability, and influence on marine ecosystems and human-nature interactions. I joined Stanford department of Oceans in 2024. Before that, I was an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Irvine.

Mateus Gheorghe De Castro Ribeiro
Ph.D. Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Autumn 2022
Ph.D. Minor, Computer ScienceBioMateus Gheorghe de Castro Ribeiro is a PhD candidate in the Stanford Sustainable Systems Lab. He has worked on various topics at the intersection of engineering applications and artificial intelligence (AI). His main area of research focuses on AI applied to sustainable energy systems, specifically using data-driven methods to accelerate the electrification of bus fleets, ensure reliable operations with minimal costs, and achieve 24/7 carbon-free operations. Mateus obtained his bachelor's and master's degrees in mechanical engineering from the Federal University of Juiz de Fora and the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, respectively. In 2022, he was awarded the CAPES/Fulbright Scholarship to pursue his PhD in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University.

Gregory Deierlein
John A. Blume Professor in the School of Engineering
BioDeierlein's research focuses on improving limit states design of constructed facilities through the development and application of nonlinear structural analysis methods and performance-based design criteria. Recent projects include the development and application of strength and stiffness degrading models to simulate steel and reinforced concrete structures, seismic design and behavior of composite steel-concrete buildings, analysis of inelastic torsional-flexural instability of steel members, and a fracture mechanics investigation of seismically designed welded steel connections.
