Lauren Simitz
Ph.D. Student in Aeronautics and Astronautics, admitted Autumn 2021
Masters Student in Aeronautics and Astronautics, admitted Winter 2022BioHi there! I'm an aerospace engineer, chemist, and geoscientist striving to both protect our world and advance technologies to explore new ones. Sustainability and DEI are just as strong of passions at the core of my work, in and outside of the space sector.
More specifically, my work in industry (Chevron, SpaceX, Benchmark) and academic research (Northwestern - flowable batteries, Stanford - clean combustion) catalyzed my passion for advancing sustainable, reliable fuel and energy systems at the micro- and macro-scale. I have interests in propulsion (chemical, air-breathing) and energy conversion processes like combustion. As a Stanford PhD candidate in the Fluids in Complex Environments (Ihme) lab, I employ the intersection of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and kinetics to probe underlying phenomena in these areas.
I welcome messages and am always seeking collaborations with other scientists/groups. I am also happy to answer any questions about graduate school, fellowships, aerospace/chemical engineering/geoscience, and SpaceX, or put you in touch with my network, if that is helpful. -
Karan P. Singh
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2023
BioI am an incoming electrical engineering Ph.D. student and full-time post-baccalaureate researcher, currently advised by Dr. Kim Butts Pauly in the Department of Radiology. My research will be funded by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
My lab works primarily in transcranial ultrasound neuromodulation, a non-invasive therapeutic modality with the potential to cure neurological diseases such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and even addiction. My primary focus at the moment is using machine learning, particularly sequence models, to improve therapy outcomes and efficiency.
Previously, I studied electrical engineering at Cal Poly SLO and was the youngest engineering graduate in the school's history. There, I worked with Dr. Benjamin Hawkins on microfluidics research examining the electrowetting effect.
Outside of academia, I enjoy playing the piano, badminton, working out, and cooking! I am also the co-founder and co-president of the Stanford Piano Society. -
Sunny Singh
Masters Student in Engineering, admitted Autumn 2023
BioHowdy y'all! I'm currently pursuing an M.S. in Aero & Astro at Stanford and am passionate about Exploration, Education, and Community Service. I graduated from Georgia Tech with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Computer Science (specializing in Automation & Robotic Systems).

Adrien Specht
Ph.D. Student in Computational and Mathematical Engineering, admitted Spring 2024
BioI'm a PhD student in the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME) at Stanford University, mentored by Prof. Mignot. My research is at the intersection of artificial intelligence and sleep medicine, focusing on developing predictive models for circadian rhythms and sleep debt from proteomics data. I adopt a problem-oriented approach, selecting methods based on the data and research questions at hand. My techniques range from linear regression to sophisticated deep learning frameworks, aiming to extract maximal insights from the data. I also explore the use of unsupervised and semi-supervised learning, and am interested in the applications of multimodal and foundation models in biology.
