Claire Anderson
Lecturer, Civil and Environmental Engineering
Research Analyst, Civil and Environmental EngineeringBioAs a postdoctoral scholar interested in the intersections of human health, animal health, and the environment, I work across disciplines in Environmental Engineering (with Alexandria Boehm) and Epidemiology (with Jade Benjamin-Chung). My current work focuses on understanding the mechanisms of pathogen survival (including parasites and viruses) in the environment, microbial source tracking, and effective interventions, including those involving the built environment and sanitation infrastructure. My dissertation work centered on enveloped viruses, with a particular focus on understanding their persistence in the environment, transmission dynamics, and intervention strategies, especially in resource-constrained environments. Beyond my academic pursuits, I'm dedicated to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion through outreach programs for students in every level of their education.

Leni Aniva
Ph.D. Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2022
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy main research interest is Machine-Assisted Theorem Proving, which refers to using machine-learning agents to find proofs of mathematical theorems and conduct reasoning. We are pursuing a hybrid algorithm between neural networks and SMT solvers to solve some of the long standing problems facing machine learning models today such as opaqueness, hallucinations, and information leakage. I also do research on SMT solvers and automatic verifications of programs.

Eric Appel
Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and Associate Professor, by courtesy, of Pediatrics (Endocrinology) and of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe underlying theme of the Appel Lab at Stanford University integrates concepts and approaches from supramolecular chemistry, natural/synthetic materials, and biology. We aim to develop supramolecular biomaterials that exploit a diverse design toolbox and take advantage of the beautiful synergism between physical properties, aesthetics, and low energy consumption typical of natural systems. Our vision is to use these materials to solve fundamental biological questions and to engineer advanced healthcare solutions.

Elijah Appelson
Masters Student in Management Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2025
BioElijah Appelson is an activist, mathematician, and computational social scientist. From 2023 to 2025, he served as the first data analyst/scientist at the ACLU of Louisiana, focusing on immigration, policing, and the broader criminal legal system. There, he conducted statistical analyses for legal cases, supported policy change, and developed educational tools, including "Visualizing Police Violence in Louisiana" and "Policing in Louisiana: By the Facts". He is skilled in web scraping, predictive modeling, and data storytelling, and uses these tools to create accountability. Prior to the ACLU, he held roles at the Center for Community Alternatives and the Vera Institute of Justice, intersecting technical expertise with a commitment to civil rights. His academic interests center on using machine learning to hold state violence accountable through education, policy, and law.
