Lucia Stein-Montalvo is a Presidential Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Princeton University. She holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Boston University, and a B.S. in Mathematics, with a minor in Hispanic Studies, from Davidson College. Her research uncovers fundamental findings about the nonlinear mechanics and instabilities…
My research at the Environmental Fluid Mechanics lab has centered on the transport of water vapor, CO2, and temperature in natural and urban environments. My previous projects focused on improving flux quantification, including novel methods to partition total ecosystem fluxes of CO2 and water vapor into ground and plant contributions, as well…
Paul is a postdoctoral fellow with the High Meadows Environmental Institute at Princeton University. He received his PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Stanford University in 2023, where he studied turbulent mixing in density stratified environments using numerical simulations to improve how these processes are incorporated in…
Abed is a postdoctoral research associate working on subgrid-scale parametrization of land-surface interactions for heterogeneous surfaces with specific focus on the Arctic pole. His research interests are interdisciplinary at the crossing between artificial intelligence, applied mathematics and environmental fluid mechanics. Prior to joining…
Keer is a postdoctoral fellow with the High Meadows Environmental Institute at Princeton University. She received her Ph.D. in Environmental Studies from Yale University in 2024. Her doctoral research investigates urban effect on surface climate and heat stress using global climate models and observation data. Keer’s research interests include…

Jing Wang is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University. During her undergraduate studies, she majored in Hydraulic Engineering, with a primary focus on fluid dynamics and statistical analysis for cyclones. In her graduate studies, her research has been concentrated on urban…
My research involves agrivoltaic and building integrated solar panels. The primary goal is to overcome land scarcity for solar energy production, while mitigating its associated adverse effects. The agrivoltaic project focuses on optimally combining solar energy generation with crop cultivation to co-optimize crop yield and energy production…
Xinjie is a Ph.D. student working with Prof. Elie Bou-Zeid in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University. His research interests include innovative urban cooling strategies such as retro-reflective building surfaces and outdoor misters, aiming at contributing to the multi-technology portfolio for cooling…
Harunari Soeda is a Ph.D. student working on turbulent flow over homogeneous/ heterogeneous boundaries using large eddy simulations. He has strong interest on coherent structures of turbulence, self-organization, and nonlinear dynamics.
