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.

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.
