Samuel Enrique Camacho
Masters Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Autumn 2025
Graduate Program Assistant, Domingue Program
Research Intern, Program-Osman, K.BioNative of Maracaibo, Venezuela. I am a nonprofit leader, a graduate research assistant, a perennial intern, and a recovering investment banker. After working in banking and helping early-stage startups in the sustainability space navigate funding rounds, I decided to pursue graduate studies in environmental engineering to expand my technical foundation in sustainability and renewable energy technology.
My previous research focused on traditional energy, and I have presented at over 10 economic conferences. I have also interned at a YC-backed startup, in consulting, banking, venture capital, corporate, and various nonprofits and universities. In my spare time, I co-lead a Latin American education and arts nonprofit in Houston. Other interests include worrying about Venezuelan inflation, visiting small towns in the U.S., coding in Stata, and hiking. -
Stivi Canka
Masters Student in Management Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2026
BioI am a master's student in Management Science & Engineering, working on optimization and machine learning applied to the infrastructure that makes the world run, spanning manufacturing, logistics, and connectivity.
My background is in economics and mathematics, followed by work in market risk and in technology risk consulting. Across both, the recurring pattern was the same: most of the world is a set of large, poorly specified optimization problems, and comparatively few of them have been solved. At Stanford I am focused on the computational and statistical tools for attacking these problems at scale, with a particular interest in operations problems in emerging markets.
Outside my coursework, I founded Albanian Trailblazers, a mentorship network connecting Albanian students from disadvantaged backgrounds with mentors across more than twenty countries. -
Shawn Carrier
Masters Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Autumn 2026
BioPersonal Information: I am from Levis, Quebec, Canada. I am fluent in English and French. I know the basics of Spanish, however I am not fully fluent in this language.
Academic History: I successfully completed and passed the FE Civil Exam in May 2026. I graduated at the top of my civil engineering class at the University of New Brunswick with a Bachelor's of Science in Engineering. During this degree, I received 20 academic awards excluding my NSERC USRAs and my Dean's List awards which I received every year.
Undergraduate Research Work: I spent two summers working with UNB's Smart Structures Research Group. Over these two terms, I was awarded two NSERC USRA awards. My main focus within the group was to program a MATLAB app to visualize and label accelerometer and strain sensor data from an instrumented bridge. For more information about my research work (including pictures displaying this app), please refer to my resume which is linked to this page. -

Hugo Chen
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2022
BioHugo "Jiun-Yu" Chen is currently pursuing his Ph.D. degree in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. He earned his M.S. in Photonics and Optoelectronics from National Taiwan University in 2019 and his B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from National Dong Hwa University in 2017.
Prior to joining Stanford, Hugo worked as an R&D engineer at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) in the High Power Program and Analog Power/RF Specialty Technology from 2019 to 2022. His research experience includes investigating GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) for high power converter applications, oxide-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) for CMOS inverter applications, and III-V quantum dots molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) material growth.
As the first author, Hugo has published two peer-reviewed journal articles, six conference papers, and one US/KR/TW/CN/DE patent. He is currently advised by Professors H.-S. Philip Wong and Kwabena Boahen, and his research focuses on developing ferroelectric field-effect transistors (FeFETs) for dendritic-centric learning.
In his leisure time, Hugo enjoys biking, playing badminton, and watching dramas.
