Nigam H. Shah, MBBS, PhD
Professor of Medicine (Computational Medicine), of Biomedical Data Science and, by courtesy, of Computer Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe answer clinical questions using aggregate patient data at the bedside. The Informatics Consult Service (https://greenbutton.stanford.edu/) put this idea in action and led to the creation of Atropos Health. We build predictive models that allow taking mitigating actions, keeping the human in the loop.

Yash Shah
Ph.D. Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2025
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research interests lie in developing neuroconnectionist mechanistic models of the brain that deepen our understanding of neural computation and representations. I aim to explore how physiological and anatomical constraints shape cortical topography and, in turn, scaffold development. I am particularly intrigued by observing certain behaviors emerge from mechanistic models, even when the model was not optimized to do so.

Cory Shain
Assistant Professor of Linguistics and, by courtesy, of Psychology
BioI lead the Laboratory for Computation & Language in Minds & Brains (CLiMB Lab). We try to figure out how our brains let us go so efficiently from sensation (e.g., speech, reading) to meaning, and we do this using a combination of neuroimaging, computer modeling, and behavioral experiments. See the lab website for details.

Eric S.G. Shaqfeh
Lester Levi Carter Professor and Professor of Mechanical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI have over 25 years experience in theoretical and computational research related to complex fluids following my PhD in 1986. This includes work in suspension mechanics of rigid partlcles (rods), solution mechanics of polymers and most recently suspensions of vesicles, capsules and mixtures of these with rigid particles. My research group is internationally known for pioneering work in all these areas.

Meghan Marjorie Shea
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioMeghan is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, where she studies how to best use environmental DNA (eDNA)—little bits of DNA left behind by organisms in their ecosystems—for marine biodiversity monitoring. Her interdisciplinary approach blends science & technology studies and ocean sciences, drawing on her dual training as a social scientist and engineer. Working from the archives to the laboratory to the field, she advances eDNA tools while interrogating their social context and epistemic implications. Prior to her postdoc, she received a PhD in the Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment & Resources at Stanford, an MPhil in Nature, Society and Environmental Governance from Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, and a BS in Environmental Systems Engineering from Stanford. When she's not thinking about environmental DNA, she loves cooking elaborate vegetarian meals, nurturing her house plants, and finding ways to spend as much time as possible on or near the ocean!

Alicia Myles Sheares
Assistant Professor of Management Science and Engineering and, by courtesy, of Sociology
BioProfessor Alicia Myles Sheares is an Assistant Professor in the Management Science and Engineering department at Stanford University. Her research sits at the intersection of race and organizations with a specific focus on how underrepresented professionals of color fare in the United States. Currently, she’s working on two major projects. The first explores the experiences of Black tech entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley and Atlanta, while the second explores individual and company-level factors that are associated with success among Black and Latine startups in the U.S. Her research has been published in Social Forces, the Sociology of Race and Ethnicity, Big Data and Society, and the International Migration Review. Professor Sheares was a University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellow at UCLA. She received her Ph.D. in sociology from UC Berkeley, her M.Sc. in Migration Studies from the University of Oxford, and her B.A. from Spelman College.
