Ali Abbas Zaidi
Adjunct Professor, Materials Science and Engineering
BioAli Zaidi serves as Precourt Energy Scholar at Stanford University, where he is engaged in research, writing, and teaching at the interdisciplinary intersection of policy and technology innovation through Stanford Precourt Institute for Energy.
Prior to joining Stanford University, Zaidi served for eight years in the Obama Administration. From 2014 to 2017, Zaidi was appointed by President Obama to be the Associate Director for Natural Resources, Energy, and Science at the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB). In this role, Zaidi led a team of policy and budget experts overseeing a wide array of policy, budget, and management issues across a nearly $100 billion portfolio and a number of federal agencies including the Departments of Energy, Agriculture, and the Interior; the Environmental Protection Agency; the National Aeronautics and Space Administration; the Army Corps of Engineers’ civil works; and the National Science Foundation.
As part of his duties, Zaidi served as OMB's chief policy official for implementation of the President's Climate Action Plan, which he helped design and draft. Implementation included efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions through technology, finance, and regulatory innovation; bolster extreme-weather resilience through analysis, disclosure, and mitigation of climate risk; and spur complementary private, philanthropic, subnational, and global climate action through new strategic partnerships. Zaidi was also a leader on a number of other aspects of the Administration’s economic and environmental policy. The team he led at the White House oversaw critical aspects of the Administration’s efforts on infrastructure, technology, fundamental science, and conservation.
Before his most recent White House appointment, Zaidi served in a number of other roles within the Obama Administration, including as policy aide to the U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu and as the White House Domestic Policy Council’s Deputy Director for Energy Policy.
In addition to his work at Stanford University, Zaidi currently serves as Senior Advisor to Morrison & Foerster. -
Mohammad Asif Zaman
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2014
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on trapping and controlled manipulation of sub-micron sized particles. The work included modeling, fabrication and testing of chips that employ optical forces and/or dielectrophoretic forces to trap and transport nanoparticles. Our goal is to develop lab-on-a-chip systems for biomedical and chemical applications.

Fabio Zanini
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI aim at improving prognosis, diagnosis, and treatment of viral infections in humans via single cell transcriptomics, computational analysis, and microfluidics. I am particularly interested in dengue virus, Zika virus, cytomegalovirus (CMV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and oncoviruses.
