Alexander Haigh
Masters Student in Computational and Mathematical Engineering, admitted Spring 2017
BioAlex was born in Boston and attended Belmont Hill School before arriving at Stanford in September, 2014. As an undergraduate, he majored in Computer Science concentrating in AI, and, outside of his own coursework, was a Teaching Assistant for CS106A, the Vice President of his fraternity, and the captain of the men's lacrosse team. As he progressed through his CS major, Alex found that he was increasingly attracted to the mathematical side of his coursework and decided to pursue a Master's Degree in Computational and Mathematical Engineering. After graduation, Alex is interested in building consumer products that leverage AI to provide a better user experience.

Jerry Harris
The Cecil H. and Ida M. Green Professor in Geophysics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsBiographical Information
Jerry M. Harris is the Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Geophysics and Associate Dean for the Office of Multicultural Affairs. He joined Stanford in 1988 following 11 years in private industry. He served five years as Geophysics department chair, was the Founding Director of the Stanford Center for Computational Earth and Environmental Science (CEES), and co-launched Stanford's Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP). Graduates from Jerry's research group, the Stanford Wave Physics Lab, work in private industry, government labs, and universities.
Research
My research interests address the physics and dynamics of seismic and electromagnetic waves in complex media. My approach to these problems includes theory, numerical simulation, laboratory methods, and the analysis of field data. My group, collectively known as the Stanford Wave Physics Laboratory, specializes on high frequency borehole methods and low frequency labratory methods. We apply this research to the characterization and monitoring of petroleum and CO2 storage reservoirs.
Teaching
I teach courses on waves phenomena for borehole geophysics and tomography. I recently introduced and co-taught a new course on computational geosciences.
Professional Activities
I was the First Vice President of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists in 2003-04, and have served as the Distinguished Lecturer for the SPE, SEG, and AAPG. -
