Elizabeth Sattely
Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering
BioPlants have an extraordinary capacity to harvest atmospheric CO2 and sunlight for the production of energy-rich biopolymers, clinically used drugs, and other biologically active small molecules. The metabolic pathways that produce these compounds are key to developing sustainable biofuel feedstocks, protecting crops from pathogens, and discovering new natural-product based therapeutics for human disease. These applications motivate us to find new ways to elucidate and engineer plant metabolism. We use a multidisciplinary approach combining chemistry, enzymology, genetics, and metabolomics to tackle problems that include new methods for delignification of lignocellulosic biomass and the engineering of plant antibiotic biosynthesis.

Ahmed Sawaby
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2017
BioAhmed received his B.Sc. degree from Cairo University in 2014. He is currently perusing his Ph.D. degree (2017-2022) at Stanford University. His research interests include biomedical electronics, medical implant and sensing systems, power management systems, analog-mixed circuits, ultra-low-power systems, energy harvesting, ultra-low-power transceivers, and RF systems.
Ahmed worked as an RFIC design engineer at Silicon Vision, Synopsys Inc. (2015-2016), where he worked on a state of the art Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) IP module. He also joined the teaching staff at the Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University, in 2014-2015 as a part of the teaching teams for the ELC102 Electronics and Devices course and the ELC302 Active Circuits course along with mentoring and supervising senior students' lab projects. From 2016 to 2017, he joined the Arbabian lab, Stanford University, as a visiting researcher where he worked with the implant team on designing wireless neural stimulation and pressure sensing systems. He also worked with Apple Inc. power management team in 2019 and 2020 on designing state-of-the-art power delivery systems. -
Tracy Schloemer
Postdoctoral Scholar, Electrical Engineering
BioTracy H. Schloemer earned her B.S. in chemistry and M.A. in educational studies from the University of Michigan. She taught high school chemistry in Denver, Colorado as a Knowles Teaching Initiative fellow and served as a lead contributor to ChemEdX. She earned her Ph.D. in applied chemistry from the Colorado School of Mines in 2019 where she focused on organic semiconductor design for improved operational durability of perovskite solar cells under professor Alan Sellinger and in collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Lab. Her current research focuses on the control and application of excitons in the Congreve Lab. Her interests outside the lab include hiking and cheering on University of Michigan “sportsball”.

Katerina Maria Schoenegger
Graduate, Stanford Center for Professional Development
BioBA in Political Economics from the University of California, Berkeley. Certificate from the Sutardja Center of Entrepreneurship, UC Berkeley in Emerging Technologies. Attended the International Security and Intelligence (ISI) Program at the University of Cambridge, UK and learned from members of the CIA, MI5, MI6, navy intelligence, and private intelligence organizations who explored areas such as bioinformatics, nuclear proliferation, psychographics, relations between: US-Russia, US-China, Russia-Ukraine, China-Taiwan, Balkans, etc, asymmetric warfare, AI and cybersecurity, ethical limitations of drone usage, the future of clandestine operations, emerging technologies role in forcing espionage into the global south, etc. My research specifically covered information warfare, Russia-Ukraine disinformation attacks, and media literacy's role in combating information asymmetries and manipulations. Titled: DOUBLED-DOWN DEMAGOGUERY, DISINFORMATION, AND PROPAGANDA: Dissecting Ukraine and Finland’s Media Literacy Strategy and Its Adaptation to the US Sociopolitical Landscape.

Dustin Schroeder
Associate Professor of Geophysics, of Electrical Engineering and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioMy research focuses on advancing the scientific and technical foundations of geophysical ice penetrating radar and its use in observing and understanding the interaction of ice and water in the solar system. I am primarily interested in the subglacial and englacial conditions of rapidly changing ice sheets and their contribution to global sea level rise. However, a growing secondary focus of my work is the exploration of icy moons. I am also interested in the development and application of science-optimized geophysical radar systems. I consider myself a radio glaciologist and strive to approach problems from both an earth system science and a radar system engineering perspective. I am actively engaged with the flow of information through each step of the observational science process; from instrument and experiment design, through data processing and analysis, to modeling and inference. This allows me to draw from a multidisciplinary set of tools to test system-scale and process-level hypotheses. For me, this deliberate integration of science and engineering is the most powerful and satisfying way to approach questions in Earth and planetary science.

Ryan Searcy
Ph.D. Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Autumn 2019
BioRyan Searcy is currently a PhD candidate at Stanford University. His research focuses on monitoring and modeling threats to coastal health. His current projects involve developing data-driven models to predict beach water quality, using environmental DNA (eDNA) to assess native salmonid populations in a coastal stream, and collecting physical oceanographic data to measure circulation and retention at a chronically-polluted beach. Prior to Stanford, Ryan was the beach water quality modeler for Heal the Bay. In that position, he built and managed the NowCast system which provides beachgoers and health agencies daily water quality predictions for dozens of California beaches. Ryan is a frequent user of the coast and surfs whenever the weather and work allow.
