Alex Stamos
Adjunct Lecturer, Computer Science
BioAlex Stamos is a Lecturer in Computer Science and International Relations and teaches CS152 - Trust and Safety and INTPOL 268 - Intro to Cybersecurity. He has had a long career in the cybersecurity field, founding two companies (iSEC Partners and the Krebs Stamos Group) and serving as the Chief Security Officer of Yahoo, Facebook and SentinelOne. Between his CSO roles he founded the Stanford Internet Observatory, which conducted some of the first research on AI and child safety, created the first collegiate trust and safety computer-science course, and founded the Journal of Online Trust and Safety and the Stanford Trust and Safety Research Conference.
Alex has spoken at the Munich Security Conference, NATO CyCon, DEF CON, Berkeley Data Edge, Blue Hat, CanSecWest, and keynoted USENIX Security, Web Summit and Black Hat and was a member of the DHS Cybersecurity Advisory Council, the Annan Commission on Elections and Democracy and the Aspen Commission on Information Disorder. He is a member of the Aspen Institute’s Cyber Security Task Force, the Bay Area CSO Council and the Council on Foreign Relations. Alex also served on the advisory board to NATO’s Collective Cybersecurity Center of Excellence in Tallinn, Estonia.
Stamos has a BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley. He lives in the Bay Area with his wife and children. -
Kirsten Stasio
Adjunct Lecturer, Atmosphere and Energy
BioKirsten Stasio is CEO of the Nevada Clean Energy Fund (NCEF), Nevada's nonprofit green bank. She also serves as an Adjunct Lecturer at Stanford University, where she co-teaches Understand Energy, a course that gives students the knowledge and tools to engage in the energy and sustainability sectors.
Throughout her career, Kirsten has strived to translate her life-long passion for environmental sustainability into real impact across the policy, education, corporate, and investment sectors. Before joining NCEF, Kirsten worked at MAP Energy, an energy investment firm, where she helped scale investments in renewable energy across the US. Her early career began at the World Resources Institute (WRI), a non-profit, where she worked with policymakers and other stakeholders to implement climate finance solutions. While getting her graduate degree at Stanford, Kirsten worked at Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) where she helped launched a new energy efficiency initiative with large businesses in the Bay Area. Kirsten also worked at Apple to implement energy measures at Apple's headquarters, retail stores, and data centers.
Kirsten began teaching at Stanford in early 2015 after graduating from Stanford with an MBA and an MS degree in the Emmet-Interdisciplinary Program on Environment and Resources (E-IPER). Kirsten also earned a dual BA in International Relations and French from the University of California, Davis.
The origins of Kirsten's passion for sustainability trace back to her childhood when she spent time on her family’s fourth-generation ranch in the Sierra Nevada foothills, a place where she enjoys spending time today with her husband and daughter. -
Ivana Stiperski
Affiliate, Mechanical Engineering - Flow Physics and Computation
BioIvana is a professor of Atmospheric Turbulence at University of Innsbruck, Austria. She got her PhD from the University of Zagreb, Croatia. Her research focuses on the effects of terrain complexity on the atmospheric flows at different scales. On the turbulence scale she and her team work on formulating a generalized theory of surface-layer turbulence based on anisotropy through her ERC Consolidator Grant "Unicorn". This new framework allows the classic turbulence theories to be extended to conditions outside of their range of applicability. On the local and mesoscale she studies thermally driven flows (katabatic flows over glaciers and non-glaciarized environments), as well as dynamically driven flows (bora and foehn winds and gravity waves). Her main research tool are turbulence field observations collected over a wide range of very complex settings (e.g., mountains, glaciers, ice-cliffs, caves). She also participated and organized a number of field experiments (T-Rex, i-Box, SEECAP, HEFEX, HEFEX II, TEAMx). Her teaching includes introductory and advanced atmospheric sciences courses, especially boundary layer meteorology courses on Bachelor and Master level.

Maxwell Bradley Strange
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2018
BioMax is a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering advised by Mark Horowitz. His research focuses on developing infrastructure and tools to facilitate agile hardware development as part of the ongoing efforts by the Stanford AHA! Research Center. His research interests also include domain-specific hardware architectures, hardware/software co-design, and embedded systems design. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 2017 with a B.S. in Computer Engineering and Computer Science.

Robert Street
William Alden and Martha Campbell Professor in the School of Engineering, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsStreet focuses on numerical simulations related to geophysical fluid motions. His research considers the modeling of turbulence in fluid flows, which are often stratified, and includes numerical simulation of coastal upwelling, internal waves and sediment transport in coastal regions, flow in rivers, valley winds, and the planetary boundary layer.
