Devan Addison-Turner
Ph.D. Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Autumn 2022
Masters Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Autumn 2021Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDevan's research at Stanford is focused on reducing inequities in health, education, and society. Devan is leveraging multiple sources of data within the state of California and nationwide to develop a holistic Energy Poverty Index to evaluate and guide policy. Devan's research addresses disparities in racial equity by helping to identify communities and schools that are most vulnerable and at-risk based on socio-economic, health, and environmental factors.

Masters Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Autumn 2023
BioDedicated to advancing technology in construction, I am a results-driven professional with a proven track record in Virtual Design Construction (VDC) and sustainable project execution. As a Master's candidate in Sustainable Design & Construction at Stanford University, my expertise spans the realms of on-site construction, BIM, Augmented/Virtual Reality, and document control.
With a background as a VDC Engineer and Founder/Principal Consultant at BuiltVisor Pvt Ltd, I have led dynamic teams, facilitated cross-functional dialogue, and ensured the successful implementation of technology-driven workflows. My commitment to people-oriented organizations and sustainable practices aligns with my goal of contributing to societal upliftment through innovative technological solutions in the construction industry. -
Yiwen Dong
Ph.D. Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Autumn 2020
Ph.D. Minor, Electrical EngineeringBioYiwen Dong is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University, advised by Prof. Hae Young Noh. Her research interest is human behavior characterization and health monitoring through their interactions with the physical structures. Her current work focuses on human and animal health monitoring through footstep/activity-induced structural vibrations.
While structures are traditionally considered as passive and indifferent, her works allow the structures to be both self-aware and user-aware. Yiwen developed systems that utilize ambient structural vibrations to infer human behaviors and health status, which enables many smart building applications such as in-home patient monitoring and elder care, intruder prevention and occupant management, animal health monitoring, and welfare. She strives for the next-generation intelligent infrastructures by exploring the potential of structural monitoring for human-centered purposes.
Yiwen has an interdisciplinary background in structural engineering, electrical engineering, and machine learning. Yiwen received her Master’s degree in Structural Engineering at Stanford University and her Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering at Nanyang Technological University. She won various awards (Best Paper Award, runner-ups in competitions) in ubiquitous computing and cyber-physical system conferences. She is passionate about combining the physical knowledge from structural dynamics, sensing approaches from cyber-physical systems, and data-driven models from machine learning to infer people’s behavior patterns and health status. -
Tess Hegarty
Ph.D. Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Spring 2018
BioTess Hegarty is currently a PhD candidate in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, and she’s passionate about building decarbonization as a part of addressing the climate crisis. Her PhD thesis research explores the intersection of probabilistic life cycle assessment (LCA) metrics and industrialized construction through ongoing collaborations between industry and academia.Â
Her undergraduate degree focused on structures, architecture, and design via MIT's flexible 1-ENG program, and she spent her junior year studying abroad at the University of Cambridge. Directly after graduating from MIT, she started her MS/PhD at Stanford, with fellowship support from the NSF GRFP and SGF.
While at Stanford, she co-founded a volunteer student organization called Engineering Students for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ES4DEI). She’s also interested in design thinking and has taken four d.school classes while at Stanford, including Designing (Ourselves) for Racial Justice, Transformative Design, Creativity in Research Scholars, and Print on Purpose. She enjoys applying her graphic design skills for Scientists Speak Up, a student organization dedicated to combatting science misinformation. -
