  • Chungheon Shin

    Chungheon Shin

    Research Engineer

    BioChungheon Shin is the Research Director of the Codiga Resource Recovery Center at Stanford University. His work focuses on advancing sustainability through resource recovery from waste streams, with the goal of enabling engineering solutions that recover valuable resources while mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. He has developed and optimized innovative treatment processes that integrate biological and physicochemical systems across multiple scales, ranging from reaction kinetics to systems-level analysis, supported by both conventional and data-driven computational models.

    He received his Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from Inha University in South Korea, where he developed the Staged Anaerobic Fluidized-bed Membrane Bioreactor (SAF-MBR) for the recovery of clean water and energy from municipal wastewater, working with Professor Jaehoe Bae and Professor Perry L. McCarty. He subsequently served as a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University under the supervision of Professor Craig S. Criddle.

  • Barbara G Simpson

    Barbara G Simpson

    Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering

    BioOur research group is made up of a small team of talented students with a wide range of skills and experience. We explore advanced computational and experimental methods to characterize structural response. Our aim is to develop innovative structural systems that improve structural performance and reduce the effects of natural hazards on the built environment.

    Research areas include resilient and sustainable design and retrofit of building structures and offshore renewable energy systems, performance-based earthquake engineering, and next-generation computational modeling, including real-time hybrid simulation for fluid-structure interaction.

  • Robert Street

    Robert Street

    William Alden and Martha Campbell Professor in the School of Engineering, Emeritus

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsStreet focuses on numerical simulations related to geophysical fluid motions. His research considers the modeling of turbulence in fluid flows, which are often stratified, and includes numerical simulation of coastal upwelling, internal waves and sediment transport in coastal regions, flow in rivers, valley winds, and the planetary boundary layer.
