Mark Algee Hewitt
Associate Professor of English
BioMark Algee-Hewitt’s research combines literary criticism with digital and quantitative analyses of literature and other textual corpora. Although his work primarily focuses on the development and transmission of aesthetic and philosophic concepts during the long eighteenth-century in both Britain and Germany, his research interests also include other literary forms, such as poetry and the Gothic novel, and broadly reach from the eighteenth-century to contemporary literary practice. As director of the Stanford Literary Lab, he has led projects on a variety of topics, including the use of extra-disciplinary discourse in novels, the narratological theory of the short story, and science-fiction world building. In addition to these literary projects, he has also worked in collaboration with the OECD's Working Group on Bribery to explore the effectiveness of public writing as an enforcement strategy, with the Smithsonian Museum of American History on the history of American celebrity in newspapers, and with faculty in the school of law at Columbia University on court decisions regarding environmental policy.

Anas Alharbi
Masters Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Autumn 2025
BioI’m a graduate international student in the Civil and Environmental Engineering (Atmosphere/Energy) program at Stanford University, with a background in Chemical Engineering. My interests sit at the intersection of sustainability, energy systems, and data-driven decision-making.
In my professional career, I have managed projects that required both technical depth and business judgment. My work often involves data analysis to evaluate projects from technical and financial perspectives and turn results into clear recommendations for decision-makers.
I also hold an MBA and I’m a CFA Charterholder. I’m especially interested in decarbonization strategy, environmental performance, and energy/climate finance.
Outside of class, I enjoy all kinds of physical activities, even though I’m still a beginner.
