Nigam H. Shah, MBBS, PhD
Professor of Medicine (Biomedical Informatics), 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.

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.

Sheri D. Sheppard
Richard W. Weiland Professor in the School of Engineering, Emerita
BioSheri Sheppard teaches both undergraduate and graduate design-related classes, and conducts research on fracture mechanics and applied finite element analysis, and on how people become engineers. From 1999-2008 she served as a Senior Scholar at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, leading the Foundation’s engineering study. In addition to publishing technical papers, reports, and textbooks, she has led or co-led several large, multi-institutional projects to build new educational research programs and related resources, such as the Center for the Advancement of Engineering Education (CAEE), The National Center for Engineering Pathways to Innovation (Epicenter), and a program on summer research experiences for high school teachers. Her industry experience includes engineering positions at Detroit's "Big Three” — Ford Motor Company, General Motors Corporation, and Chrysler Corporation. She earned her bachelors degree from the University of Wisconsin, and her PhD at the University of Michigan. At Stanford she has served a chair of the faculty senate, as associate vice provost for graduate education, and is the longtime faculty founder of and adviser to the graduate student group MEwomen. Her work has been recognized with numerous honors and awards, including the Walter J. Gores Award, Stanford University's highest award for excellence in teaching and the Chester F. Carlson and Ralph Coats Roe Awards of the American Society for Engineering Education in recognition of distinguished accomplishment in engineering education, and for outstanding teaching and notable contributions to the mechanical engineering profession.

Chungheon Shin
Research Engineer
BioChungheon Shin is the Research Director of the Codiga Resource Recovery Center at Stanford University. His work focuses on advancing sustainability through resource recovery from waste streams, with the goal of enabling engineering solutions that recover valuable resources while mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. He has developed and optimized innovative treatment processes that integrate biological and physicochemical systems across multiple scales, ranging from reaction kinetics to systems-level analysis, supported by both conventional and data-driven computational models.
He received his Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from Inha University in South Korea, where he developed the Staged Anaerobic Fluidized-bed Membrane Bioreactor (SAF-MBR) for the recovery of clean water and energy from municipal wastewater, working with Professor Jaehoe Bae and Professor Perry L. McCarty. He subsequently served as a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University under the supervision of Professor Craig S. Criddle. -
