Farnaz "Naz" Ghaedipour
Postdoctoral Scholar, Management Science and Engineering
BioI am a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University at the Centre for Work, Technology, and Organization (WTO), advised by Arvind Karunakaran. I earned my PhD in Management of Organizational Behavior and Human Resources from McMaster University, under Erin Reid’s supervision.
I study how technological changes in the organization of work (e.g., the advent of AI and digital platforms) and the rise of the gig economy combine with norms and ideal images of work (e.g., authenticity, passion, entrepreneurialism) to shape the structure, organization, and experience of work. I primarily use qualitative research methods, including interviews, participant observation, and ethnography. To approach the individual phenomena as embedded in the contextual structure, I often complement the data derived from interviews and observations with contextual information derived from secondary data sources (e.g., archival and walk-through data). Occupations studied include Instagram content creators, journalists, Upwork freelancers, software engineers, and graphic designers.
I was a finalist in the 2021 INFORMS/Organization Science Dissertation Proposal Competition and the recipient of the SSHRC post-doctoral fellowship (2022), Ontario Graduate Fellowship (2021), and the Ontario Graduate Scholarship (2020). -

His research interests include nanophotonics, optoelectronics, plasmonics, photonic integration, quantum photonics, nonlinear optics, photon-emitter interfaces, emission enhancement of quantum emitters, active metasurfaces, and phase change materials.
Nicholas is an experimental condensed matter physicist. After obtaining Master's degrees in Physics (RWTH Aachen) and Nanotechnology (Sorbonne), Nicholas began his Ph.D. at Imperial College London. During his Ph.D., he focused on light-matter interaction on the nanoscale, hot-carrier photodetection, and hybrid photonic-plasmonic waveguides. His supervisors were Prof. Stefan Maier and Prof. Rupert Oulton. He completed his Ph.D. in 2020, for which he was awarded the Imperial College Solid State Physics Thesis Prize 2020 for the best thesis. Shortly after, he joined a startup company in Switzerland working on the development of high-speed optical interconnects.
In 2021, he was awarded the competitive Science Fellowship from the German National Academy of Science - Leopoldina, which has been supporting his research at Stanford. At Stanford University, he works on active solid-state optical interfaces with two main research directions: i) quantum emitter control in integrated photonic networks and ii) reconfigurable beam steering in phase change material-based metasurfaces. -

Nicos Haralabidis
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioMy research interests lie within both sports and clinical biomechanics applications. I rely upon merging conventional biomechanical in vivo measurements together with state-of-the-art musculoskeletal modeling and optimal control simulation approaches. The integrative approach I take enables me to understand how an individual may run faster, jump further, walk following surgery or intervention, and simultaneously estimate internal body dynamics noninvasively. As a Postdoctoral Research Scholar within the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance I aim to explore how stochastic optimal control and reinforcement learning methods can be applied to further our understanding of sporting performance.

Makrand Khanwale
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mechanical Engineering
BioI received my PhD from Iowa State University co-majoring in Mechanical engineering and Applied Mathematics. I was co-advised by Dr. Baskar Ganapathysubramanian and Dr. James Rossmanith. For my dissertation I worked on development and analysis of numerical schemes for high fidelity simulations of multiphase flows. Specifically I developed energy stable numerical methods to simulate two-phase flows using Cahn-Hilliard Navier-Stokes equations. I also have experience in development of tools to analyse and understand complex physical processes like multi-phase flows and turbulence. Before joining Iowa State for my graduate work, I had a brief stint as a research associate in Dr. Krishnaswamy Nandakumar‘s group in Louisiana State University (LSU). At LSU I worked on developing theoretical models for energy cascades in multi-phase flows.
