Larry John Leifer
Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur "designXlab" at the Stanford Center for Design Research (CDR) has long (30+ years) been focused on Engineering Design Team dynamics at global collaboration scale working with corporate partners in my graduate course ME310ABC. In our most recent studies we have added Neuroscience visualization of brain activity using fMRI and fNIRS. In doing so we have launched "NeuroDesign" as a professional discipline.

Sanjiva Lele
Edward C. Wells Professor of the School of Engineering and Professor of Mechanical Engineering
BioProfessor Lele's research combines numerical simulations with modeling to study fundamental unsteady flow phemonema, turbulence, flow instabilities, and flow-generated sound. Recent projects include shock-turbulent boundary layer interactions, supersonic jet noise, wind turbine aeroacoustics, wind farm modeling, aircraft contrails, multi-material mixing and multi-phase flows involving cavitation. He is also interested in developing high-fidelity computational methods for engineering applications.

Marc Levenston
Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Radiology (Radiological Sciences Laboratory)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy lab's research involves the function, degeneration and repair of musculoskeletal soft tissues, with a focus on meniscal fibrocartilage and articular cartilage. We are particularly interested in the complex interactions between biophysical and biochemical cues in controlling cell behavior, the roles of these interactions in degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis, and development of tissue engineered 3D model systems for studying physical influences on primary and progenitor cells.

Adrian Lew
Professor of Mechanical Engineering
BioProf. Lew's interests lie in the broad area of computational solid mechanics. He is concerned with the fundamental design and mathematical analysis of material models and numerical algorithms.
Currently the group is focused on the design of algorithms to simulate hydraulic fracturing. To this end we work on algorithms for time-integration embedded or immersed boundary methods. -
Tianying Liu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioDr. Tianying Liu is currently a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University, focusing on the development of scalable, low-Iridium loading catalysts for cost-effective and durable PEM water electrolyzers. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Boston College in 2025, where his dissertation research investigated water oxidation mechanisms on Iridium dinuclear heterogeneous catalysts. During his doctoral studies, he served as an ALS Doctoral Fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, applying synchrotron-based ex situ and in situ soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy to uncover the structural dynamics of Iridium catalyst electrodes during water oxidation.
Before his doctoral work, Dr. Liu completed his M.S. and B.S. degrees in Materials Science and Engineering at Central South University. His earlier research experience includes developing Mo-based electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution, engineering lithium-ion battery cathodes via atomic layer deposition at ShanghaiTech University, and characterizing molybdenum carbide catalysts as a visiting researcher at Northwestern University. His research interests broadly cover electrocatalysis, photoelectrochemistry, energy conversion, and materials design, with a strong focus on renewable energy applications. -
Lu Lu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioDr. Lu Lu is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University. He received his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Ningbo University and Shanghai University in China in 2014 and 2019, respectively. He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Peking University from 2020 to 2022 before joining Stanford. His research interests focus on solid mechanics, with emphasis on mechanical instabilities, deployable structures, mechanics of intelligent soft materials, plate and shell theories, and nonlocal elasticity. He has published nearly 30 peer-reviewed papers in journals such as PNAS, JMPS, IJSS, AMR, IJMS, JAM, and PRSA, and received the ASME Melville Medal in 2024.
