Masters Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2022
BioI am a masters student at Stanford University majoring in Computer Science. I am currently in Stanford SVL and Partnership in AI-Assisted Care (PAC) Lab supervised by Dr. Fei-Fei Li and Dr. Ehsan Adeli.
Before joining Stanford, I graduated with the highest honor in Computer Science and Math from Emory University. I was in the Emory Brain Network Lab under the supervision of Dr. Carl Yang working on graph mining in the area of healthcare.
My research interests lie in computer vision, graph learning, bioinformatics, AI in healthcare, interpretation, and explainability. -
Onat Dalmaz
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2023
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in developing novel deep generative models for multi-modal medical imaging, particularly for medical image synthesis. My research aims to improve diagnostic information and patient comfort while decreasing examination costs and toxicity/radiation exposure. I devise new deep architectures and robust learning strategies for medical image reconstruction and synthesis techniques.

Margaret Daly
Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioMargaret Daly is a Ph.D. Candidate studying Environmental Fluid Mechanics in CEE. She is interested in using novel approaches for coastal oceanography and interdisciplinary work towards ocean sustainability. She researches ocean flow through kelp forests, and the impact on benthic species, particularly abalone in Baja California, Mexico. She also studies how kelp plants move in different currents and wave conditions to better parameterize drag for coastal ocean models. In addition to her research in fluid mechanics, Daly is also interested in ocean policy and illegal fishing mitigation strategies. With the Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions, Daly is developing a risk tool for global seafood supply chains to use in assessing current vulnerability to illegally caught seafood. Lastly, Margaret is combining ocean drone imagery with machine learning detect sea otters on the California Coast. Margaret is an experienced scientific diver with over 200 dives and 5 field campaigns. In the future, Daly is interested in working on problem in other coastal ecosystems such as coral reef or sea grass habitats, working with small scale fishery communities, and on policy to support ocean sustainability.

Reinhold Dauskardt
Ruth G. and William K. Bowes Professor in the School of Engineering
BioDauskardt and his group have worked extensively on integrating new materials into emerging technologies including thin-film structures for nanoscience and energy technologies, high-performance composite and laminates for aerospace, and on biomaterials and soft tissues in bioengineering. His group has pioneered methods for characterizing adhesion and cohesion of thin films used extensively in device technologies. His research on wound healing has concentrated on establishing a biomechanics framework to quantify the mechanical stresses and biologic responses in healing wounds and define how the mechanical environment affects scar formation. Experimental studies are complimented with a range of multiscale computational capabilities. His research includes interaction with researchers nationally and internationally in academia, industry, and clinical practice.

University of Toronto Physics B.S (1978)
University of Toronto Aerospace Sciences M.Sc. (1980)
York University Physics Ph.D. (1986)
Appointment:
1986-present Senior Research Engineer, Mechanical Engineering Department
Research Activities:
Dr. Davidson’s research interests span the fields of gas dynamics and combustion kinetics. During his tenure at Stanford University he investigated the chemical kinetics of combustion using a wide array of optical and laser-based diagnostic methods and advanced the use of these diagnostics in shock tubes. He co-authored over 350 research publications with his students and Professor Ronald Hanson. He continues to advise and mentor the graduate students who use shock tubes in the High Temperature Gasdynamics Laboratories. An overview of the shock tube studies performed at Stanford under Prof. Hanson’s and Dr. Davidson’s supervision can be found in the report entitled “Fundamental Kinetics Database Utilizing Shock Tube Measurements” available at http://purl.stanford.edu/kb621cw6967.
He claims he is now retired, but apparently, he is still working. -
