Yi-Lin Tsai
Ph.D. Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Winter 2018
BioI am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University. I have 6 years of research, teaching, and volunteer experiences in AI, machine learning, deep learning, data science, disaster resilience, and sustainability. My research is focusing on the intersection of AI and disaster resilience. I developed and applied machine learning and deep learning models to predict compound disaster occurrences and study how to more timely, efficiently, and safely evacuate the elderly, people with disabilities, and the general public during compound disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic. I have won several competitions, hackathon awards, fellowships, and grants. In terms of teaching, I was selected to receive the Stanford Centennial Teaching Assistant Award. In my free time, I love playing the violin, working out, and doing volunteer work.

Jane Woodward
Adjunct Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioJane Woodward has been an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University since 1991 where she has taught classes on energy and environment. She currently plays supporting roles on the teaching teams for Understanding Energy and Stanford Climate Ventures. Jane also serves on Stanford’s Precourt Institute for Energy Advisory Council and founded and or funds a variety of sustainable energy education initiatives at Stanford.
Jane is a founder and Managing Partner of WovenEarth Ventures, an early-stage energy climate venture and project fund of funds and she is an investor and advisor or director of several early-stage sustainable energy companies and funds.
Jane is a Founding Partner at MAP Energy, an energy investment firm currently focused on oil and gas royalty interests. MAP is one of the longest-standing private energy investment fund management firms in the U.S. MAP began investing in natural gas mineral rights in 1987, wind energy in 2004, utility scale solar in 2015 and energy storage in 2017. In December 2020, MAP sold its renewable energy and energy storage assets under management to Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP).
In 2016, Jane created The Foster, a 14,000-square-foot art venue in Palo Alto, to share artist-explorer Tony Foster’s powerful exhibitions of watercolor journeys with an intention to inspire connection to the natural world.
Prior to founding MAP in 1987, Jane worked as an exploration geologist with ARCO Exploration Company and later as a petroleum engineering consultant to Stanford University’s endowment.
Jane has a BS in Geology from UC Santa Barbara, an MS in Engineering and Petroleum Geology, and an MBA, both from Stanford University. -
