Mark Z. Jacobson
Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioMark Z. Jacobson’s career has focused on better understanding air pollution and global warming problems and developing large-scale clean, renewable energy solutions to them. Toward that end, he has developed and applied three-dimensional atmosphere-biosphere-ocean computer models and solvers to simulate air pollution, weather, climate, and renewable energy. He has also developed roadmaps to transition states and countries to 100% clean, renewable energy for all purposes and computer models to examine grid stability in the presence of high penetrations of renewable energy.

Rishee Jain
Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioProfessor Jain's research focuses on the development of data-driven and socio-technical solutions to sustainability problems facing the urban built environment. His work lies at the intersection of civil engineering, data analytics and social science. Recently, his research has focused on understanding the socio-spatial dynamics of commercial building energy usage, conducting data-driven benchmarking and sustainability planning of urban buildings and characterizing the coupled dynamics of urban systems using data science and micro-experimentation. For more information, see the active projects on his lab (Stanford Urban Informatics Lab) website.

Sneha Jain
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe overarching goal of my research is to understand the impact of the built environment on human well-being and integrate the complexity and dynamism of human-environment interaction into effective design strategies that promote i) health and well-being, ii) equitability, and iii) sustainability.
Currently, I am working on evaluating the impact of sustainble retrofit solutions on the wellbeing of low-income renters living in affordable housing. I have strong interest to work on quantifying the impact of exposure to daylight on human comfort, sleep patterns, alterness and stress relief.
