Jeffrey Robinson Wood
Capstone Course & Lab Projects Development Director, Mechanical Engineering
Current Role at StanfordME Capstone Course and Lab Project Development Director
Jeff is the ME Capstone Course and Lab Projects Development Director, where he brings his 25-year industry experience to the role. He is responsible for the ongoing strategy, design, curriculum plan and instruction plans for capstone courses in the Mechanical Engineering Department, as part of a broad effort to redesign the curriculum requirements for the undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering.
Lecturer, ME170ab - Mechanical Engineering Design: Integrating Context with Engineering
Jeff is a lecturer for the capstone course he has developed, where he brings his extensive experience with the industry product development process to the class. In addition to establishing budget, resource, timeline requirements, Jeff has successfully promoted incorporating themes into the course consistent with the goals of the department and university – to address the pressing needs of human society. For AY19-20, the themes are health and clean energy.

Qianying Wu
Ph.D. Student in Mechanical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2018
BioQianying Wu is a PhD candidate in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Stanford.
Growing up in a hot and humid climate in south China, Qianying developed her particular interest in thermal management. In the Nanoheat lab and advised by Prof. Ken Goodson, she is currently working on the design and fabrication of microporous wicking structures for capillary-driven two-phase heat and mass transfer, the simulation and integration of such engineered structures in novel high heat flux cooling devices, and exploring ways to utilize these technologies for positive energy and sustainability impact.
Qianying received her B.S in Engineering with top honors from Tsinghua University, where she was awarded the Xia An Shi Prize and National Scholarship, and her B. Econ from the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua, where she was supported by a Fu Lai Chun Scholarship.
