Stacey Bent
Vice Provost, Graduate Edu & Postdoc Affairs, Jagdeep & Roshni Singh Professor in the School of Engineering, Professor of Energy Science Eng, Sr Fellow at Precourt & Professor, by courtesy, of Electrical Eng, Materials Sci Eng & Chemistry
BioThe research in the Bent laboratory is focused on understanding and controlling surface and interfacial chemistry and applying this knowledge to a range of problems in semiconductor processing, micro- and nano-electronics, nanotechnology, and sustainable and renewable energy. Much of the research aims to develop a molecular-level understanding in these systems, and hence the group uses of a variety of molecular probes. Systems currently under study in the group include functionalization of semiconductor surfaces, mechanisms and control of atomic layer deposition, molecular layer deposition, nanoscale materials for light absorption, interface engineering in photovoltaics, catalyst and electrocatalyst deposition.

Oscar Bernal Zuniga
Graduate, Stanford Center for Professional Development
BioWelcome, and thank you for visiting my profile!
My name is Oscar Bernal, and I am a Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering PhD graduate, with a Masters of Biomanufacturing and 10 years of hands-on experience in the development, optimization and scale-up of downstream biomanufacturing processes. I am pursuing a graduate certificate from Stanford's Technology and Engineering Management Graduate Program as a means to position myself as an industry leader, disruptor and innovator.
My passion is to help global, regional, and emerging biotech companies develop and implement cost-effective and safe processes that take advantage of the latest purification technologies for the next generation of Immunotherapies (mAbs), Gene Therapies (AAV, Lentivirus), and Vaccines. My work with a wide variety of customers has translated into hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings (increased throughput and yield, reduced facility footprint) and reduced time to market for several blockbuster molecules. I am convinced access to healthcare is a fundamental right and should be the main drive for innovation in this industry. -

Abrar Bhat
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am investigating the biophysical mechanisms that govern the organization and function of adhesion GPCRs involved in the process of synapse formation. aGPCRs possess dual roles in cell adhesion and signaling. Despite their importance in processes like neuronal synapse formation and association with various neuropsychiatric disorders, the precise mechanisms governing their organization and function at the cell membrane remain enigmatic.

Emil Biju
Masters Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2023
BioI am an M.S. in Electrical Engineering student at Stanford University and my research interests include interpretable machine learning, deep learning and NLP. For the last 2 years, I have been working at Microsoft as a Data and Applied Scientist in the Cybersecurity research team. Previously, I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering and a minor in Deep Learning from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras. During this time, I pursued research at the intersection of NLP and deep learning that led to publications in top conferences such as ACL, COLING and ALENEX.

Sarah Billington
UPS Foundation Professor and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioMy research program focuses on the impact of building design and materials on human wellbeing. This work includes developing design tools to quantify nature experience in buildings, understanding and increasing wellbeing in and through affordable housing, and identifying the risk of forced labor in building material supply chains through fingerprinting and AI methods. The goal of my research program is to provide building occupants, designers, and owners tools to achieve built environments that meet their needs and to design interventions that support human wellbeing over time while preserving privacy. While no longer active in this area, my group has a long history of expertise in the design and evaluation of sustainable, durable construction materials including bio-based composites and ductile cement-based composites.

Lacramioara Bintu
Assistant Professor of Bioengineering
BioLacra Bintu is an Assistant Professor in the Bioengineering Department at Stanford. Her lab performs single-cell and high-throughput measurements of chromatin and gene regulation dynamics, and uses these data to develop predictive models and improve mammalian cell engineering.
Lacra started working on the theory of gene regulation as an undergraduate with Jané Kondev from Brandeis University and Rob Phillips from Caltech. As a Physics PhD student in the lab of Carlos Bustamante at U.C. Berkeley, she used single-molecule methods to tease apart the molecular mechanisms of transcription through nucleosomes. She transitioned to studying the dynamics of epigenetic regulation in live cells during her postdoctoral fellowship with Michael Elowitz at Caltech. -
Biondo Biondi
Barney and Estelle Morris Professor
On Leave from 09/01/2023 To 08/31/2024Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch
My students and I devise new algorithms to improve the imaging of reflection seismic data. Images obtained from seismic data are the main source of information on the structural and stratigraphic complexities in Earth's subsurface. These images are constructed by processing seismic wavefields recorded at the surface of Earth and generated by either active-source experiments (reflection data), or by far-away earthquakes (teleseismic data). The high-resolution and fidelity of 3-D reflection-seismic images enables oil companies to drill with high accuracy for hydrocarbon reservoirs that are buried under two kilometers of water and up to 15 kilometers of sediments and hard rock. To achieve this technological feat, the recorded data must be processed employing advanced mathematical algorithms that harness the power of huge computational resources. To demonstrate the advantages of our new methods, we process 3D field data on our parallel cluster running several hundreds of processors.
Teaching
I teach a course on seismic imaging for graduate students in geophysics and in the other departments of the School of Earth Sciences. I run a research graduate seminar every quarter of the year. This year I will be teaching a one-day short course in 30 cities around the world as the SEG/EAGE Distinguished Instructor Short Course, the most important educational outreach program of these two societies.
Professional Activities
2007 SEG/EAGE Distinguished Instructor Short Course (2007); co-director, Stanford Exploration Project (1998-present); founding member, Editorial Board of SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences (2007-present); member, SEG Research Committee (1996-present); chairman, SEG/EAGE Summer Research Workshop (2006)
