Vayu Hill-Maini
Assistant Professor of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study filamentous fungi, a diverse group of organisms that includes molds and mushrooms and are critical for a sustainable future. These organisms not only serve global roles in nutrient cycling, plant resilience, and agriculture, but have immense biotechnological potential for sustainable foods, medicines, enzymes, and materials. However, our ability to precisely manipulate fungal and metabolism and structure is still in its infancy, preventing both fundamental research and engineering efforts. Our lab integrates approaches from synthetic biology, biochemistry, and gastronomy to characterize and engineer fungi for food and sustainability applications, including creating new delicious, nutritious foods from readily available waste.

Pamela Hinds
Rodney H. Adams Professor in the School of Engineering, Fortinet Founders Chair of the Department of Management Science and Engineering and Professor of Management Science and Engineering
BioPamela J. Hinds is Rodney H. Adams Professor in the School of Engineering, Professor of Management Science & Engineering, Co-Director of the Center on Work, Technology, and Organization, and on the Director's Council for the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design. She studies the effect of technology on teams, collaboration, and innovation. Pamela has conducted extensive research on the dynamics of cross-boundary work teams, particularly those spanning national borders. She explores issues of culture, language, identity, conflict, and the role of site visits in promoting knowledge sharing and collaboration. She has published extensively on the relationship between national culture and work practices, particularly exploring how work practices or technologies created in one location are understood and employed at distant sites. Pamela also has a body of research on human-robot interaction in the work environment and the dynamics of human-robot teams. Most recently, Pamela has been looking at the changing nature of work in the face of emerging technologies, including the nature of coordination in open innovation, changes in work and organizing resulting from 3D-printing, and the work of data analysts. Her research has appeared in journals such as Organization Science, Research in Organizational Behavior, Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Annals, Academy of Management Discoveries, Human-Computer Interaction, Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, and Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes. Pamela is a Senior Editor of Organization Science. She is also co-editor with Sara Kiesler of the book Distributed Work (MIT Press). Pamela holds a Ph.D. in Organizational Science and Management from Carnegie Mellon University.

Kent Hippler
Ph.D. Student in Management Science and Engineering, admitted Summer 2025
BioKent Hippler is a PhD student in the Decision and Risk Analysis (DARA) Group in Stanford's Department of Management Science and Engineering, advised by Dr. Elisabeth Paté-Cornell. His current research focuses on risk attitudes in AI Decision Support Systems.
Prior to pursuing his PhD, Kent served as a Nuclear Surface Warfare Officer in the U.S. Navy, supporting three western Pacific deployments aboard the USS Anchorage and USS Theodore Roosevelt. He later worked as a Systems Engineer at Maxar Technologies and a Software Engineer at Amazon. Kent holds a B.S. in Nuclear Engineering, summa cum laude, from the University of Florida (2016) and an M.S. in Management Science and Engineering from Stanford (2025), where he worked with the Language Data and Reasoning Lab under the advisement of Dr. Amin Saberi.
