Nikola Blagojevic
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioNikola Blagojević is a postdoctoral scholar at the Stanford Urban Resilience Initiative (SURI) within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University. His research focuses on regional recovery modeling and urban disaster resilience assessment.
As part of his doctoral work, Nikola developed pyrecodes, an open-source software for simulating how cities recover from disasters. His broader research interests span earthquake engineering, software development, post-disaster data collection, and climate risk and resilience assessment.
In addition to his academic research, Nikola has collaborated with the insurance industry to improve tools for assessing business interruption losses.
He holds a Ph.D. from ETH Zurich (2023) and an M.Sc. (2016) and B.Sc. (2015) in Structural Engineering from the University of Belgrade, Serbia. -

Richard and Rhoda Goldman Professor of Environmental Studies, Professor of Oceans and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioI am interested in pathogens in the environment including their sources, fate, and transport in natural and engineered systems. I am interested in understanding of how pathogens are transmitted to humans through contact with water, feces, and contaminated surfaces. My research is focused on key problems in both developed and developing countries with the overarching goal of designing and testing novel interventions and technologies for reducing the burden of disease.
I am also interested broadly in coastal water quality where my work addresses the sources, transformation, transport, and ecology of biocolloids - specifically fecal indicator organisms, DNA, pathogens, and phytoplankton - as well as sources and fate of nitrogen. This knowledge is crucial to formulating new management policies and engineering practices that protect human and ecosystem health at the coastal margins. -
Ronaldo Borja
Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioBorja works in computational mechanics, geomechanics, and geosciences. His research includes developing strain localization and failure models for soils and rocks, modeling coupled solid deformation/fluid flow phenomena in porous materials, and finite element modeling of faulting, cracking, and fracturing in quasi-brittle materials.
