Chungheon Shin
Research Engineer, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioChungheon Shin is the Research Director of the Codiga Resource Recovery Center at Stanford University. His research advances sustainable water and environmental technologies through process intensification, environmental biotechnology, and resource recovery. By integrating biological and physicochemical processes with mechanistic and data-driven computational models, he develops engineering solutions that recover clean water, energy, and valuable resources. His work spans multiple scales, from fundamental reaction kinetics to pilot- and demonstration-scale systems, with a strong emphasis on translating research into real-world applications.
His current research focuses on three complementary areas: process intensification, resource recovery, and digital optimization of water infrastructure. He has led the development of the Staged Anaerobic Fluidized-bed Membrane Bioreactor (SAF-MBR), an energy-positive wastewater treatment technology that has advanced to demonstration scale, and is developing pilot-scale methane-to-protein technologies that convert waste methane into sustainable protein through efficient gas transfer and environmental biotechnology. His research also integrates mechanistic understanding with data-driven modeling to optimize biological treatment processes and accelerate the deployment of next-generation water technologies.
Dr. Shin received his Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from Inha University in South Korea, where he developed the SAF-MBR under the supervision of Professor Jaehoe Bae and Professor Perry L. McCarty. He subsequently joined the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University as a postdoctoral scholar under Professor Craig S. Criddle, where he expanded his research in environmental biotechnology, process intensification, and sustainable water infrastructure. -

Constantine Sideris
Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering
BioConstantine Sideris is an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. Previously, he was an Assistant Professor at the University of Southern California from 2018 to 2025 and an Associate Professor from 2025 to 2026. He received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees with honors from the California Institute of Technology in 2010, 2011, and 2017 respectively. He was a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley’s Wireless Research Center from 2013 to 2014. He was a postdoctoral fellow in the departments of Electrical Engineering and Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Caltech from January 2017 to August 2018.
He was the recipient of an ONR YIP award in 2023, an NSF CAREER award in 2021, an AFOSR YIP award in 2020, an AFOSR DURIP award in 2021, the Caltech Leadership Award in 2017, and an NSF graduate research fellowship in 2010. His research is highly interdisciplinary and bridges the fields of bioengineering, medicine, applied mathematics and computation with electrical engineering and physics.
His research interests include analog/RF integrated circuits, photonic integrated circuits, and computational electromagnetics for biomedical and biosensing applications and wireless communications. His current interests in biomedical devices include portable Point-of-Care in-vitro biosensors, wearable devices for real-time monitoring and analysis of biological signals, ingestible “smart” pills, and implantable devices. His current interests in computational electromagnetics include developing fast algorithms for simulating RF and nanophotonic devices and coupling them with efficient optimization algorithms to achieve the automated design of new, high-performance electromagnetic devices. -
Aaron Sidford
Associate Professor of Management Science and Engineering and of Computer Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research interests lie broadly in the optimization, the theory of computation, and the design and analysis of algorithms. I am particularly interested in work at the intersection of continuous optimization, graph theory, numerical linear algebra, and data structures.

Lauren Simitz
Ph.D. Student in Aeronautics and Astronautics, admitted Autumn 2021
BioHi there! I'm an aerospace engineer, chemist, and geoscientist striving to both protect our world and advance technologies to explore new ones. Sustainability, teaching, and DEI are just as strong of passions, in and outside of the aerospace sector.
My work in industry (Chevron, SpaceX, Benchmark, Boeing) and academia catalyzed my interest in advancing sustainable, safe propulsion and energy systems. As a Stanford PhD candidate in the Hypersonics, Propulsion, and Energy Laboratory (HyPEL) working under Professor Ronald Hanson, I employ fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and chemical kinetics to experimentally probe combustion behavior. -
