John Michael Abendroth
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Materials Science and Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsJohn's Ph.D. research concentrated on elucidating spin-dependent electron transport through chiral molecular assemblies, measuring room-temperature electron spin filtering in DNA-mediated charge transfer, and spin-dependent energy barriers to photoelectron transmission through helical oligopeptides. John's current postdoctoral research focuses on theoretical design and experimental implementation of nanophotonic platforms to amplify chiral light–matter interactions for advanced spectroscopies.

Guillermo Aboumrad Sidaoui
Ph.D. Student in Computational and Mathematical Engineering, admitted Summer 2018
BioWillie was born and raised in Mexico City. He later moved to the UK to complete his high school studies. In the fall of 2014, Willie arrived at Stanford to begin his undergraduate career in Mathematics. Interested in applications of mathematical theory, he later gained admission to the Master's program at ICME. He is currently pursuing a doctoral degree under the advisory of Prof. Daniel Bump.

Alex Abramson
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Chemical Engineering
BioMy passion is to create medical devices that make a difference in quality of life for patients worldwide. Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford in Prof. Zhenan Bao's lab developing flexible electronic devices for physiologic status monitoring. I received my Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from MIT working under Profs. Robert Langer and Giovanni Traverso, where my research focused on developing ingestible robotic capsules for oral biologic drug delivery. I am passionate about mentorship as well as entrepreneurship, and I volunteer locally to support STEM innovation in my community. Check out my website in the links section for more information in my research.

Monther Abu-Remaileh
Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Genetics
BioThe Abu-Remaileh Lab is interested in identifying novel pathways that enable cellular and organismal adaptation to metabolic stress and changes in environmental conditions. We also study how these pathways go awry in human diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration and metabolic syndrome, in order to engineer new therapeutic modalities.
To address these questions, our lab uses a multidisciplinary approach to study the biochemical functions of the lysosome in vitro and in vivo. Lysosomes are membrane-bound compartments that degrade macromolecules and clear damaged organelles to enable cellular adaptation to various metabolic states. Lysosomal function is critical for organismal homeostasis—mutations in genes encoding lysosomal proteins cause severe human disorders known as lysosomal storage diseases, and lysosome dysfunction is implicated in age-associated diseases including cancer, neurodegeneration and metabolic syndrome.
By developing novel tools and harnessing the power of metabolomics, proteomics and functional genomics, our lab will define 1) how the lysosome communicates with other cellular compartments to fulfill the metabolic demands of the cell under various metabolic states, 2) and how its dysfunction leads to rare and common human diseases. Using insights from our research, we will engineer novel therapies to modulate the pathways that govern human disease. -
James L. Adams
Professor of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management and of Mechanical Engineering, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI have for some time been working on two books. The working title for one is Making, Fixing, and Tinkering, and it concerns the benefits of working with the hands. The other has a working title of Homo Demi Sapiens, and is about the balance of creativity and control in very large groups (societies, religions, etc.). I am also revising a book entitled The Building of an Engineer, which I wrote for my aging mother and self-published. It is somewhat autobiographical, and although it is available on Amazon, I do not consider it quite ready for public reading.

Christiane Marie Otten Adcock
Ph.D. Student in Computational and Mathematical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2018
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI research theoretical and computational methods to model, design, and control energy systems. These methods include computational fluid dynamics, uncertainty quantification, and high performance computing. Energy systems include wind turbines, vehicles, the electricity grid, and carbon sequestration. Currently, I am researching uncertainty quantification of numerical solutions to PDEs using Multilevel Monte Carlo and task-based parallel computing in the Uncertainty Quantification lab.

Geun Ho Ahn
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2018
Grader for EE222. Autumn 2019-20., Electrical Engineering - Student ServicesBioI am a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. I joined Professor Jelena Vuckovic's Nanoscale Quantum Photonics Lab in 2018, and I am currently working on computational optimizations of photonic devices and quantum technologies made from nanoscale fabrications. I obtained my undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from University of California, Berkeley.

Alex Aiken
Alcatel-Lucent Professor in Communications and Networking and Professor of Particle Physics and Astrophysics and of Photon Science
BioAiken's research focuses on developing techniques for the construction of reliable software systems. His interests include both static and dynamic methods of analyzing programs, and span both detecting errors and verifying the absence of errors in software. Most of his research combines a theoretical component (for example, proving the soundness of an analysis technique) and a practical component, which often involves the implementation and measurement of advanced program analysis algorithms. Finally, his research also extends to the design of new programming languages and programming techniques in which it is easier to write software that can be checked for a wide variety of errors.

Raag Airan
Assistant Professor of Radiology (Neuroradiology) at the Stanford University Medical Center and, by courtesy, of Materials Science and Engineering and of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur goal is to develop and clinically implement new technologies for high-precision and noninvasive intervention upon the nervous system. Every few millimeters of the brain is functionally distinct, and different parts of the brain may have counteracting responses to therapy. To better match our therapies to neuroscience, we develop techniques that allow intervention upon only the right part of the nervous system at the right time, using technologies like focused ultrasound and nanotechnology.
