Pro. Michael Lepech 

Professor Lepech's research focuses on the integration of sustainability indicators into engineering design, ranging from materials design, structural design, system design, to operations management and finance. Such sustainability indicators include a comprehensive set of environmental, economic, and social impacts. Within civil engineering, his research has led to the development of new building materials and building practices for more sustainable built environments.  As leader of a new sustainable banking sciences initiative at Stanford, the application of his research is rethinking the definitions of value, risk, and innovation within the financial services sector. 

Professor Lepech's research, teaching, and practice have taken him to China over 20 times during the past 5 years.  As a professor in residence for the Stanford Center at Peking University (SCPKU) in Beijing, he is introducing new financial accounting metrics to better balance economic development with environmental protection throughout China.  As an instructor, he has taught numerous Chinese executive education and professional education courses on topics of finance, leadership, sustainability, and real estate development.  He has also successfully founded 2 companies in China based on his research in advanced construction materials.  These companies are currently developing and marketing products produced with ‘bendable concrete’, or Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC). 

Mike received his PhD in Civil Engineering (Materials) from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan, and his MBA in strategy and finance from the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan.
