Two Princeton researchers, architect Stefana Parascho and engineer Sigrid Adriaenssens, dreamed of using robots to simplify construction, even when building complex forms.

Reed Maxwell, professor of civil and environmental engineering and the Princeton Environmental Institute, will present “Hydrology in the Supercomputing Age.”

The Princeton Environmental Institute welcomes today new faculty members Reed Maxwell, professor of civil and environmental engineering and the Princeton Environmental Institute, and Jerry Zee, assistant professor of anthropology and the Princeton Environmental Institute

Traditionally, hydrologic modeling has been most feasible to implement at the catchment scale—larger simulations are computationally demanding and require vast amounts of data. This approach is problematic to our understanding of the global (or even regional) hydrologic cycle because connections between various aspects of the water cycle extend beyond watershed boundaries.

Water is the most elemental ingredient of life; its regular availability is essential to our economies and to civilization itself. Yet billions of people yearly confront water-related stress, including devastating droughts, destructive flooding and toxic contamination.

Naomi Cohen-Shields of Princeton’s Class of 2020 analyzed the effectiveness of China’s efforts to reduce air pollution for her senior thesis research. She also investigated how air pollution differs across China’s provinces based on regional affluence — and if poor populations face more exposure.

Reed Maxwell will join Princeton's CEE faculty September 1, 2020 as professor

Princeton CEE alumnus Jon Bradshaw ’10 won the Paul F. Boulos Excellence in Computational Hydraulics/Hydrology Award in recognition of his PhD research at Stanford University.

In a collaborative study in the July 2020 issue of Engineering Structures, researchers at Princeton University and the University of Bergamo revealed the the engineering techniques behind self-supporting masonry domes inherent to the Italian renaissance.

Claire Wayner, class of 2022, is among 55 college students nationwide named 2020 Udall Scholars. Scholars receive up to $7,000 and are selected based on their leadership, public service, academic excellence, and commitment to issues related to Native American nations or to the environment.
