Steven Hsu
Masters Student in Chemical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2019
BioAs a third-generation Taiwanese immigrant in Bolivia, and the child of an avid business traveler, I had a fascinating multicultural childhood. Born in Brazil, I lived in Hong Kong for five years, Indonesia for four, Taiwan for four, the Philippines for three, and the United States for the past six years. From my experience, I learned to appreciate the unique cultures and the ways of life that each country has. My background gave me a broader worldview and better interpersonal skills that help me work with and better understand people from various ages and backgrounds.
What my resume does not show is that I am a fast learner, hard worker, and dependable to work either alone or in a team. I am confident that I have the maturity, skills, and abilities to embark on further growth. -
Daniela Marin
Ph.D. Student in Chemical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2020
Other Tech - Graduate, Stanford Nano Shared Facilities Service CenterBioDaniela Marin is a first-year graduate student at Stanford University. She previously worked as a post-undergraduate researcher at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and worked toward advancing the commercialization of bio-derived materials and methods of plastics recycling. Daniela holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and a B.A. in Physics through a dual-degree program with Columbia University and William Jewell College. Her education is combined with undergraduate research that focused on mitigating the effects of viscous fingering using step-growth polymerization to stabilize the instability. Her transition to Columbia introduced her to the field of atmospheric aerosols where she worked with Professor V. Faye McNeill’s group to investigate a photoinduced particle growth process and its role in secondary organic aerosol formation. She is enthusiastic about using her technical abilities and interest in the environment to contribute to Stanford Chemical Engineering's mission of developing technologies that will improve and maintain environmental health.

Solomon Tolulope Oyakhire
Ph.D. Student in Chemical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2018
BioSolomon Oyakhire is a PhD candidate in the department of chemical engineering. He received his BSc in chemical engineering at the University of Lagos in Nigeria before starting his PhD in chemical engineering as a Knight-Hennessy scholar. He is primarily interested in the scientific and economic facets required for accelerating the deployment of renewable energy technologies. Prior to Stanford, he carried out research on phase change materials applied in solar thermal heating systems at the University of Lagos and worked as a technology consultant at KPMG. By operating with frameworks that he gathered from research and consulting environs, he is currently working on developing high energy density batteries with practical applications in the grid and electric vehicles.

Maha Yusuf
Ph.D. Student in Chemical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2015
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsLong charging times of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is a major bottleneck in the widespread deployment of electric vehicles (EVs). There is a global push to enable extreme fast charging (XFC) of EV batteries to reduce their charging times to 10-15 minutes. But existing LIBs cannot achieve this goal without significantly reducing battery performance. This is mainly attributed to a phenomenon, known as “Li plating,” as the battery is charged fast. In this thesis, I use neutron and X-ray-based imaging to visualize the battery electrode to investigate Li plating at elevated charging rates.
