Ph.D. Student in Mechanical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2023
BioI study mechanics of materials using computer simulations across multiple length and time scales. I am currently working on understanding how material defects and microstructures govern macroscopic mechanical behaviors. This includes constructing plasticity theory from statistics of dislocations, homogenization theory of digital rocks, and developing data-driven methods for multiscale simulations.
I did Research Interns at Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs (working on machine learning for dynamical and energy systems) and Tokyo Electron (working on computational modeling of semiconductor manufacturing).
I am currently teaching (TA & co-lecture) for Elasticity & Inelasticity (ME340). I served as the TA for Finite Element Method (ME335A). -

Ph.D. Minor, Communication
Ph.D. Minor, Computer ScienceCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsMy interdisciplinary research examines digital media through the lens of critical race, gender, and sexuality studies. I am primarily interested in investigating how we can leverage the power of media to reinvent and promote social equality. Specifically, my research focuses on digital games and their prosocial influence on 21st- century China.

Xingyu (Brian) Zhou
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2025
Masters Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2026Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI work on the Stanford Artificial Retina Project, building an implant that records from and stimulates single retinal neurons to restore vision. I develop the implant control software, including simultaneous recording and stimulation, and implant assembly and test protocols developed with SLAC and TU Delft. I also build template-based spike detection for the implant's compressed data readout.

Richard Zhuang
Masters Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2025
BioI’m broadly interested in understanding and improving the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) in a data-centric way. Specifically, I’m intrigued by how certain data “foster” skills that are essential for LLM agents (e.g. reasoning and planning). I have also had a long-standing passion in Sports Analytics. Outside the realm of AI, you will usually find me playing basketball!

Orr Zohar
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2021
BioOrr Zohar is a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University and a Knight-Hennessy Scholar. He builds large-scale multimodal foundation models - spanning data curation, pretraining, and post-training - with a focus on video understanding, long-horizon reasoning, and robust transfer under real-world distribution shift. His work includes open-source model and dataset efforts and methods for evaluation and alignment of multimodal systems, with an emphasis on turning research into deployment-ready learning systems.
Before Stanford, he earned a BSc in Chemical Engineering (summa cum laude) and an MSc in Electrical Engineering from the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology, and worked as a machine learning and algorithms engineer at proteanTecs. Earlier research experiences include applied sensing and medical-imaging work.
