Islam Osman
Ph.D. Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Autumn 2026
BioCivil and Environmental Engineering PhD student in the Osman Lab at Stanford University. I earned my BSc and MSc in Civil Engineering from Cairo University, where I also served as a Research and Teaching Assistant. My previous research focused on quantity and cost estimation for wastewater infrastructure, and I have two years of experience in program management consulting. Outside of academia, I represented Egypt at the World Scout Jamboree, and in my free time, I enjoy walking, reading, journaling, and thoughtful conversations.

Khalid Osman
Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Center Fellow, by courtesy, at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioKhalid Osman joined the department as an Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering in autumn of 2022. His research spans the use of mixed quantitative-qualitative methods to assess public perceptions of water infrastructure, water conservation efforts, and the management of existing infrastructure systems to meet the needs of those being served by the systems. He currently is focused on the operationalization of equity in water sector infrastructure, conceptualizing equity in decentralized water and sanitation systems, water affordability, and stakeholder-community engagement in sustainable civil infrastructure systems for achieving environmental justice.
Khalid was the holder of a Bill and Melinda Gates Millennium Scholars Graduate Fellowship and also a Ford Foundation Predoctoral Fellowship. -
Nicholas Ouellette
Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Environmental Complexity Lab studies self-organization in a variety of complex systems, ranging from turbulent fluid flows to granular materials to collective motion in animal groups. In all cases, we aim to characterize the macroscopic behavior, understand its origin in the microscopic dynamics, and ultimately harness it for engineering applications. Most of our projects are experimental, though we also use numerical simulation and mathematical modeling when appropriate. We specialize in high-speed, detailed imaging and statistical analysis.
Our current research includes studies of turbulence in two and three dimensions, with a focus on coherent structures and the geometry of turbulence; the transport of inertial, anisotropic, and active particles in turbulence; the erosion of granular beds by fluid flows and subsequent sediment transport; quantitative measurements of collective behavior in insect swarms and bird flocks; the stability of ocean ecosystems; neural signal processing; and uncovering the natural, self-organized spatiotemporal scales in urban systems. -
Yuandong PAN
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioYuandong Pan is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the School of Engineering at Stanford University. His research focuses on developing digital and smart approaches to support more sustainable buildings, infrastructure, and cities. Before joining Stanford, he was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Future Road Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge. His work aims to improve how the built environment is designed, managed, and maintained, contributing to smarter, more resilient, and more sustainable urban systems.
