Juan David Visbal Alcala
Graduate, Stanford Center for Professional Development
BioJuan David is a resilient, hard-working, and enthusiastic leader who is changing the world by solving society's challenges through engineering practices and strategies that optimize, innovate, disrupt, and transform positively.
Juan holds a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering with experience working in cross-functional teams, spanning from engineering, R&D, and other relevant technical functions, to marketing, management, and sourcing to drive profitable results for businesses while exceeding stakeholder expectations.
Analytical thinker and problem-solver driven to further develop industry standards to meet society's next-generation needs in terms of energy demands, agnostic fuel transitions, product reliability, accessibility, and circularity creating long-lasting solutions while safekeeping the environment.
Juan attempts to lead by three main principles that developed as a result of past experiences that turned into learning opportunities:
1. A good leader should not become a figure of authority that disrupts confidence or trust among co-workers. A true leader should bridge communication gaps and become a master at developing meaningful interpersonal relationships in the work environment. Success and productivity are enhanced through effective teamwork that stems from deep bonds of trust driven by communication.
2. A good leader should be a great listener. One should be able to understand and show interest in what each teammate has to share. Sometimes there's no need to look for solutions elsewhere but within the teams. One learns to communicate by listening first.
3. A good leader should be receptive and approachable to anyone willing to come up to them. It's impossible to know whether an initiative, project, or idea has potential if the person to whom it needs to be sold is not prone to receive it. The only crazy idea/question is one that is never asked. -

Jelena Vuckovic
Jensen Huang Professor of Global Leadership, Professor of Electrical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Applied Physics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsJelena Vuckovic’s research interests are broadly in the areas of nanophotonics, quantum and nonlinear optics. Her lab develops semiconductor-based photonic chip-scale systems with goals to probe new regimes of light-matter interaction, as well as to enable platforms for future classical and quantum information processing technologies. She also works on transforming conventional photonics with the concept of inverse design, where optimal photonic devices are designed from scratch using computer algorithms with little to no human input. Her current projects include quantum and nonlinear optics, cavity QED, and quantum information processing with color centers in diamond and in silicon carbide, heterogeneously integrated chip-scale photonic systems, and on-chip laser driven particle accelerators.

Adam Wang
Assistant Professor of Radiology (Radiological Sciences Laboratory) and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering
BioMy research group develops technologies for advanced x-ray and CT imaging, including artificial intelligence for CT acquisition, reconstruction, and image processing; spectral imaging, including photon counting CT (PCCT) and dual-layer flat-panel detectors; novel system and detector designs; and their applications in diagnostic imaging and image-guided procedures. I am also the Director of the Photon Counting CT Lab, Zeego Lab, and Tabletop X-Ray Lab.
I completed my PhD in Electrical Engineering at Stanford, developing strategies for maximizing the information content of dual energy CT and photon counting detectors. I then pursued a postdoctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins in the I-STAR Lab, developing reconstruction and registration methods for x-ray based image-guided surgery. I was then a Senior Scientist at Varian Medical Systems, developing x-ray/CT methods for image-guided radiation therapy, before returning to Stanford in 2018, where I now lead a comprehensive research program in advanced x-ray and CT imaging systems and methods, with funding from NIH, DOD, DOE, and industry partners. -
