Xiao Ge’s design research focuses on understanding creative work theory and practice to improve practices of creativity, interdisciplinary teamwork, and engineering education. Ge’s research at Stanford spans across disciplines in both the Mechanical Engineering Department and the Psychology Department. Her research on culture and AI is also sponsored by the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI). Ge has received Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowship (2018-2021), Best Paper Award from the prestigious design research journal Design Studies (2021), Rising Stars for Women in Mechanical Engineering (2021, MIT), and Poster Award at Stanford Data Science Conference (2023), to name a few.
Ge has taught design thinking and held innovation-learning workshops across industry and academia in various cultural contexts. She previously worked on an human-centered innovation project for Lockheed Martin spacecraft (2010-11) that led to successful implementation resulting in an estimated cost savings of $20 million per satellite. Ge worked as an innovation specialist and consultant to develop, launch and run systematic human-centered innovation program at Siemens China (2012-2014), where she taught design innovation to research project teams across sectors incl. healthcare, energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure & cities. Over the years, Ge taught design innovation workshops across universities in Tokyo, Beijing, China and at Stanford. Ge consulted Deutsche Bahn Systel to build high-performance self-organizing teamwork (2017-18), corporate participants through Stanford Center for Professional Development Project Management Advanced Certificate program (2016), and served as corporate coach to Stanford ME310: Global Engineering Design Innovation (2019-). She has also hands-on consulted and launched a Makerspace in Beijing for kids to imagine, make and empathize (2015) and a postdoc program Stanford SPARQ center (2023-2024). Starting in 2024, Ge teaches two graduate-level research courses at Stanford on (Engineering) Design Theory and Methodology. -
Turgut M Gür
Adjunct Professor, Materials Science and Engineering
Npl Research Liaison, Mechanical Engineering - DesignBioTurgut M. Gür is an Adjunct Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University, where he recently retired after a distinguished career that included technical and management leadership for three major multi-disciplinary team-based research centers on campus focused on advanced materials and energy conversion and storage, namely, the DOE-EFRC Center on Nanostructuring for Efficient Energy Conversion (CNEEC), the NSF-MRSEC Center for Materials Research (CMR), and Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials (GLAM).
Currently, he is the President of The Electrochemical Society and chairs its Board of Directors and several other ECS committees. He is also an inducted Fellow of The Electrochemical Society.
In addition, he holds a Visiting Professor appointment from the Chinese University of Mining and Technology-Beijing (CUMTB) in China, and an "international mentor" appointment from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway.
He is an internationally recognized leader in high temperature electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies, materials and processes with 11 US issued patents, 17 (published) patent applications, and 165 technical publications, largely related to energy conversion processes and materials including fuel cells, electrocatalysis, electrosynthesis, coal and hydrocarbon conversion, hydrogen production, and sensors and membranes. He has made nearly 150 oral presentations in national and international conferences, given 85 invited lectures, talks and colloquia, co-organized 24 international conferences and symposia, and co- edited 18 transaction volumes and proceedings.
In 2020, out of more than 186,000 energy scientists in the world, he is ranked the 702nd most cited energy researcher, and is also rated in the top 1% of most cited among all scientists in the world across all scholarly fields of sciences, engineering and medicine (https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3000918). Recently, he is also ranked in the top 5% of cited researcher in RSC journals by The Royal Society of Chemistry.
As an entrepreneur, he was involved in developing advanced technologies in several start-up companies developing supercapacitors, chemically assisted spontaneous production of hydrogen via steam electrolysis, carbon fuel cells for efficient conversion of coal, biomass and other solid fuels to electricity with total carbon capture, and industrial wastewater treatment based on electrochemical remediation by selective reduction and capacitive deionization.
He has served in top leadership positions on the boards of several professional societies as well as industrial and non-profit organizations. He has been on the Board of Directors of The Electrochemical Society for 6 years and was the Chair of the High Temperature Energy Materials and Processes division of the Society. Previously, he had served 3 terms on the Board of the International Society for Solid State Ionics (ISSI), which is another leading global society for scientists in electrochemical energy conversion and storage. Formerly, he was an Associate Editor of the Journal of the American Ceramic Society (2002-2014), and the editor for Solid State Ionics Letters (1998-2002).
He also volunteers his time as a Board Trustee and the former Vice President of the Turkish Educational Foundation, a charitable non-profit organization in the San Francisco Bay Area in California, USA, that provides financial support, scholarships and educational assistance annually to 2400 needy students in Turkey.
He holds BSc and MSc degrees in Chemical Engineering from the Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey, and three graduate degrees including a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Stanford University. -

Carol B. Muller
Adjunct Lecturer, Mechanical Engineering - Design
BioAs Executive Director of WISE Ventures, Carol Muller joined with individuals and organizations at Stanford to amplify the impact of programs, research, and other projects to advance equity in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, and worked collaboratively to enhance existing and establish new initiatives to meet needs aligned with this mission for Stanford University, from within the Office of Faculty Development, Diversity & Engagement and supported also through the Vice Provost for Graduate Education. She also provided executive support for Stanford’s Faculty Women’s Forum. Having retired from these roles in 2021, she continues to serve as an adjunct lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
Coupling leadership experience across a wide range of responsibilities in higher education with entrepreneurial skills honed through her work in engineering education, Carol B. Muller founded MentorNet in 1997, a nonprofit online global mentoring network supporting diversity in science and engineering, serving as its chief executive until 2008. Her prior work included service as consulting professor of mechanical engineering at Stanford University, as associate dean for administration at Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College (where she co-founded the Dartmouth Women in Science Project and the Dartmouth Project for Teaching Engineering Problem-Solving), and as department manager for Stanford’s Electrical Engineering department.
