Ryan Michael Aronson
Ph.D. Student in Computational and Mathematical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2018
BioI am a third year PhD student in the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME). I am mainly interested in developing numerical methods with applications to computational mechanics and fluid dynamics. I am particularly interested in high-order, structure-preserving, finite element, and isogeometric methods. Currently I am working with Professor Doug James in the area of fluid sound synthesis. Prior to coming to Stanford, I earned a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder, where I worked with Professor John Evans on residual-based variational multiscale turbulence modeling and isogeometric, structure-preserving collocation methods.

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsNetwork intelligence
There are 2 main aspects of network management:
Sensing
- Collecting useful and enough amount of information from the network is essential for modern, data-centric decision processes to work well.
Frameworks such as In-band Network Telemetry could be utilized to collect precise information on every single packet in the network.
Control
- Modern data science methodologies allow engineers to infer about the state of the network.
Naturally, the next step is to design tailored control algorithms that would utilize available resources the best.
Potential methods include, but not limited to, machine learning algorithms and control theory. -
Howard Ashcraft
Adjunct Professor
BioHoward Ashcraft is a practicing construction lawyer with extensive experience in major infrastructure projects, especially those using advanced and innovative project delivery methods.
He is particularly well-known for developing the theory and recommended practices for collaborative project delivery approaches, such as Integrated Project Delivery, and in integrating technology with project delivery. He, with his Hanson Bridgett team, has structured hundreds of collaborative projects and has used these experiences to evolve the advanced project delivery. Many of the key publications and texts for IPD were authored, or co-authored, by Howard.
In addition to his transactional practice, Howard has significant experience with complex construction litigation. These projects have also provided important lessons regarding the limitations of traditional design and construction delivery.
Howard is a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, a Fellow of the American College of Construction Lawyers, an Honourary Fellow of the Canadian College of Construction Lawyers, an Honorary Member of the American Institute of Architects, California Council, and an elected Member of the National Academy of Construction. He is also an Associate Fellow of the Saïd Business School at Oxford University where he leads the Commercial Leadership module in the MSc in Major Programme Management.
Howard graduated from Stanford University (Human Biology 1974) and the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law (Juris Doctor 1979). He is admitted to practice in California, Nevada, the District of Columbia and the United States Supreme Court. -
Itai Ashlagi
Associate Professor of Management Science and Engineering
BioItai Ashlagi is an Assistant Professor at the Management Science & Engineering Department.
He is interested in game theory and the design and analysis of marketplaces. He is especially interested in matching markets, for which he developed mechanisms using tools from operations/cs and economics. His work influenced the practice of Kidney exchange, for which he has become a Franz Edelman Laureate. Ashlagi received his PhD in operations research from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology.
Before coming to Stanford he was an assistant professor of Operations Management at Sloan, MIT and prior to that a postdoctoral researcher at HBS. He is the recipient of the outstanding paper award in the ACM conference of Electronic Commerce 2009. His research is supported by the NSF including an NSF-CAREER award. -
Nils Averesch
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioNils is a Postdoc in the Criddle Group, funded by the Stanford Natural Gas Initiative. As member of the Center for the Utilization of Biological Engineering in Space (CUBES) he focuses on engineering gas-fermenting microbes towards production of aromatic polyesters. Before joining Stanford, Nils was task lead of Synthetic Biology with Universities Space Research Association as an Associate Scientist at NASA Ames Research Center.
Nils received his PhD in 2016 from the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, in Metabolic Engineering working at the Advanced Water Management Centre. He holds an engineer’s degree (Dipl. Ing.) in Biochemical Engineering, from the Technical University of Dortmund, Germany, having graduated in 2012. -
Amel Awadelkarim
Ph.D. Student in Computational and Mathematical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2017
Club Sports Coach, Recreation Competitive SportsBioMy academic background is in Computational Fluid Dynamics, Finite Element Analysis, and Continuum Mechanics with an M.S. in Engineering Science and Mechanics from Penn State University. I am becoming more and more intrigued by data analytics & applying machine learning techniques to social sciences and networks.
Outside of academia, my interests include consuming music at all times (digitally and at live shows), competing on various Ultimate Frisbee teams (Club and National levels), cooking, and generally exploring the surrounding area.
