Robert M Gray
Alcatel-Lucent Professor in Communications and Networking, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy current research falls in the intersection of Shannon information theory and signal processing. In particular, I am interested in the theory and design of block codes and sliding-block (or stationary or time-invariant) codes for data compression and their relation to each other. Block codes are far better understood and more widely used, but their lack of stationarity causes difficulties in theory and artifacts in practice. Very little is known about the design of good sliding-block codes, but the problem is known to be equivalent to the design of entropy-constrained simulators of complex random processes. I also do research in the history of information theory and signal processing, especially in the development of speech processing systems and real time signal processing.

Christopher Gregg
Associate Professor (Teaching) of Computer Science
BioChris Gregg received his Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from the University of Virginia in 2012, has a Master's of Education from Harvard University (2002), and a BS in Electrical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University (1994). Prior to becoming a lecturer at Stanford, Chris was a lecturer in the computer science department at Tufts University, and prior to that he taught high school physics in Massachusetts and California for seven years. Chris was on active duty in the Navy for seven years, and remains as a Commander in the Navy Reserves in the Information Warfare / Cryptology community.
Chris's research interests include computer architecture (specifically, general purpose computing on GPUs) and the pedagogy of computer science teaching and instruction. -
Julie Greicius
Associate Dean for Communications and Alumni Affairs, School of Engineering - External Relations
BioJulie Greicius is Associate Dean of Communications and Alumni Affairs for Stanford Engineering. She was previously Senior Director of External Communications for Stanford Medicine, where she led media relations, crisis communications/issue management, and trademark name use. An award-winning writer and editor, she joined the School of Medicine as media relations manager in early 2018. In her prior role, she was editorial director for Stanford Medicine Children’s Health, where she developed and managed stories across all platforms, assisted in the rebranding and website renewal for Stanford Children’s Health, and directed and managed brand voice and messaging. Her career with Stanford Medicine began in 2006 when she joined Stanford Children's as a freelance writer. She has since written numerous articles for Stanford Medicine magazine and other Stanford Medicine publications. She has an MFA in creative nonfiction from Columbia University.

Peter Griffin
Sr Research Engineer, Electrical Engineering
BioPeter Griffin is an expert in microfabrication, having co-authored one of the most widely used textbooks in the area. A new version titled “Integrated Circuit Fabrication – Science and Technology” co-authored with Prof. Jim Plummer will be published in early 2024 by Cambridge University press (https://plummergriffinbook.stanford.edu/). He is an electrical engineer by training with a BE and ME from University College Cork, Ireland and a PhD from Stanford University. He remained at Stanford as a research scientist. For the past two decades, he has performed interdisciplinary work at the Stanford Genome Technology Center (SGTC) with a particular emphasis on digital microfluidics. He is particularly interested in how technology can contribute to bioengineering and was the lead author on major DARPA, NIH and SRC grants in various application areas. Griffin has enjoyed long term collaborations with leading researchers on those interdisciplinary grants which has made his time at Stanford very productive. Griffin’s current interest is on impedance measurements for diagnostics in the laboratory of Prof. Lars Steinmetz at SGTC.

Wendy Gu
Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Materials Science and Engineering
BioThe Gu Group studies the mechanical behavior of nanomaterials. We work at the intersection of solid mechanics, materials science and nano-chemistry. We research the unique properties of nanoscale metals, ceramics and nano-architected composites in order to design strong, tough and lightweight structural materials, materials for extreme environments, and mechanically-actuated sensors. Our experimental tools include nanoindentation, electron microscopy, and colloidal synthesis.
