Jenny Suckale
Associate Professor of Geophysics and, Senior Fellow, by courtesy, at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioMy research group studies disasters to reduce the risk they pose. We approach this challenge by developing customized mathematical models that can be tested against observational data and are informed by community needs through a scientific co-production process. We intentionally work on extremes across different natural systems rather than focusing on one specific natural system to identify both commonalities in the physical processes driving extremes and in the best practices for mitigating risk at the community level. Our current research priorities include volcanic eruptions, ice-sheet instability, permafrost disintegration, induced seismicity and flood-risk mitigation. I was recently awarded the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers, the highest honor bestowed by the United States Government on science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers and the CAREER award from the National Science Foundation.

Thierry Tambe
Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Computer Science
BioThierry Tambe is an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Computer Science, and the William George and Ida Mary Hoover Faculty Fellow at Stanford University. His research centers on co-designing algorithms and hardware—from high-level models down to custom silicon—to enable efficient execution of AI and data-intensive workloads, with memory efficiency as a central theme. His work has been recognized through an NSF CAREER Award, the inaugural Google ML and Systems Junior Faculty Award, an NVIDIA Graduate PhD Fellowship, an IEEE SSCS Predoctoral Achievement Award, and several distinguished paper awards. Previously, Thierry was a visiting research scientist at NVIDIA and an engineer at Intel. He received a B.S. and M.Eng. from Texas A&M University, and a PhD from Harvard University, all in Electrical Engineering.

Sindy Tang
Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and Professor, by courtesy, of Radiology and of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsProf. Sindy K.Y. Tang develops engineering platforms that measure biological systems and convert these measurements into quantitative datasets. Her research focuses on experimental systems that probe biological processes across cellular and tissue scales, particularly how physical context—geometry, mechanics, and spatial organization—shapes biological function. Current work spans immune diagnostics, spatial tissue sampling for multi-omics analysis, and single-cell perturbation studies.

Hamdi Tchelepi
Max Steineke Professor and Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCurrent research activities: (1) model and simulate unstable miscible and immiscible fluid flow in heterogeneous porous media, (2) develop multiscale numerical solution algorithms for coupled mechanics and multiphase fluid flow in large-scale subsurface formations, and (3) develop stochastic solution methods that quantify the uncertainty associated with predictions of fluid-structure dynamics in porous media.

Caroline Trippel
Assistant Professor of Computer Science and of Electrical Engineering
BioCaroline Trippel is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Departments at Stanford University, where she leads the High Assurance Computer Architectures Lab. Following her PhD, prior to starting at Stanford, Trippel spent nine months as a Research Scientist at Facebook in the FAIR SysML group. Trippel's research fits broadly in the area of computer architecture and focuses on promoting high assurance—correctness, security, and reliability—as a first-order computer architecture design goal. A central theme of her work is leveraging formal methods, especially automated reasoning, techniques to design and verify hardware systems. Trippel research has influenced the design of the RISC-V ISA memory consistency model both via her formal analysis of its draft specification and her subsequent participation in the RISC-V Memory Model Task Group; prompted Intel to update their Software Security Guidance to confirm that two Intel microarchitectures satisfy assumptions made by the Seberus Spectre defense that her lab developed; and produced a novel methodology and tool that synthesized two new variants of the famous Meltdown and Spectre attacks. Trippel's research has been recognized with IEEE Top Picks distinctions, a Sloan Research Fellowship, an NSF CAREER Award, the inaugural Google ML and Systems Junior Faculty Award, the Intel Rising Star Faculty Award, an Intel Outstanding Researcher Award, the 2020 ACM SIGARCH/IEEE CS TCCA Outstanding Dissertation Award, the 2020 CGS/ProQuest® Distinguished Dissertation Award in Mathematics, Physical Sciences, & Engineering, and more.

Madeleine Udell
Assistant Professor of Management Science and Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsProfessor Udell builds the mathematical and computational foundations needed for
scalable, accessible, and responsible data-driven decisionmaking in high-stakes domains, with impact on challenges in healthcare, finance, marketing, operations, and engineering.
She develops new efficient algorithms to accelerate and automate optimization and data science, and new frameworks that empower users to invoke these algorithms and interpret the resulting decisions. -
Benjamin Van Roy
Professor of Electrical Engineering, of Management Science and Engineering and, by courtesy, of Computer Science
BioBenjamin Van Roy is a Professor at Stanford University, where he has served on the faculty since 1998. His current research focuses on reinforcement learning. Beyond academia, he leads a DeepMind Research team in Mountain View, and has also led research programs at Unica (acquired by IBM), Enuvis (acquired by SiRF), and Morgan Stanley.
He is a Fellow of INFORMS and IEEE and has served on the editorial boards of Machine Learning, Mathematics of Operations Research, for which he co-edited the Learning Theory Area, Operations Research, for which he edited the Financial Engineering Area, and the INFORMS Journal on Optimization. He received the SB in Computer Science and Engineering and the SM and PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, all from MIT, where his doctoral research was advised by John N. Tstitsiklis. He has been a recipient of the MIT George C. Newton Undergraduate Laboratory Project Award, the MIT Morris J. Levin Memorial Master's Thesis Award, the MIT George M. Sprowls Doctoral Dissertation Award, the National Science Foundation CAREER Award, the Stanford Tau Beta Pi Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching, the Management Science and Engineering Department's Graduate Teaching Award, and the Lanchester Prize. He was the plenary speaker at the 2019 Allerton Conference on Communications, Control, and Computing. He has held visiting positions as the Wolfgang and Helga Gaul Visiting Professor at the University of Karlsruhe, the Chin Sophonpanich Foundation Professor and the InTouch Professor at Chulalongkorn University, a Visiting Professor at the National University of Singapore, and a Visiting Professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen.
