David Beach
Professor (Teaching) of Mechanical Engineering, Emeritus
BioBeach teaches courses in the areas of design and manufacturing. Beach and Craig Milroy co-direct the Product Realization Laboratory which provides 1700 students annually with hands on experiences in product definition, conceptual design, detail design, and prototype creation. The PRL offers courses, mentors and tools in support of integrated designing and making. Pedagogically, Beach believes that creation of experience from which students (and teams of students) can interpret and internalize their own conclusions provides an excellent complement to content based teaching. His goal is to add strength in tacit knowledge which derives from the hands-on synthesis of design, prototype building, presentation and criticism.. The resulting judgment and instinct regarding materials, devices, materials transformation processes, and design process complement classical analytical engineering education to create superior engineers.

Mourad Bouache
Affiliate, High Performance Computing Center
BioWith a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Montpellier in France and three postdocs focused on AI and Performance Optimization in the USA and Canada, I've built a career pushing the boundaries of what's possible in computing.
My journey led me to Yahoo, where I spent 10 years immersed in the world of AI, contributing to the company's evolution through its various stages as Oath and Verizon. I was deeply involved in developing and implementing AI solutions that powered key products and services.
This experience provided a solid foundation for my next challenge: leading AI initiatives at Intel. Now, as the Generative AI Engineering Director at Meta, I'm privileged to guide a talented team focused on shaping the future of AI.
Beyond my industry work, I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and inspiring the next generation of AI engineers as a lecturer at Stanford University. -
