Srivatsava Daruru
Affiliate, Program-Koyejo, O.
BioSrivatsava Daruru is a researcher and machine learning leader whose work spans natural language processing, neuro-symbolic AI, and large-scale learning systems. He is currently Chief AI Officer at Exlens AI and was formerly Senior Manager of Machine Learning at ServiceNow, where he led research in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), question answering, post-training optimization of large language models, and agentic workflows for conversational AI. His contributions shaped ServiceNow’s generative AI strategy, including the company’s first production-grade generative application, Genius Q&A.
Daruru’s research interests focus on self-improving large language models, reasoning, and mathematical verification. He is currently workin on VeriBench, an end-to-end benchmark for translating Python into Lean 4, and VeriCI, a continuous verification framework for CI/CD pipelines, as part of neuro-symbolic software reliability.
He has published at leading venues such as ACM SIGKDD and IEEE ICDM, with research spanning scalable clustering for terascale astronomy, parallel data mining, and large-scale telecom analytics. His Google Scholar profile reflects a consistent track record of contributions to data mining, NLP, and applied machine learning. In addition, he is the inventor on multiple patents in NLP, fact validation, and semi-automated data labeling.
Daruru holds an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin and a B.Tech. (Hons) in Computer Science from IIIT Hyderabad.
About Me (Informal)
I am a scientist and engineer working at the intersection of large language models, reasoning, and verification. My long-term vision is to build AI systems that are not only powerful but also trustworthy, capable of explaining themselves and proving their correctness. I’m especially excited about self-improving LLMs, agentic workflows, and neuro-symbolic methods that combine data-driven learning with formal verification. Currently, I’m working on VeriBench and VeriCI, projects that push AI systems toward rigorous mathematical guarantees while remaining practical for real-world development pipelines. -

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.

David Davidson
Sr Research Engineer, Mechanical Engineering
BioEducation
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. -

Caden Davis
Masters Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2025
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsPreviously, I developed a platform for joint communications and sensing (JCAS) with mmWave beamforming systems as part of the UCLA Wireless Lab under Professor Ian Roberts. Then, as a DSP engineer intern at Anduril, I worked to enhance detectors for frequency-hopping OFDM and chirp-spread-spectrum signals. From these experiences, I found a strong interest in optimization methods and statistical inference techniques for signal processing systems, mainly wireless communications and radar.

Kristen Davis
Associate Professor of Oceans and, by courtesy, of Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioI am an engineer and oceanographer who is interested in studying how physical processes shape coastal waters – combining principles of fluid mechanics, oceanography, and ecology. I use both field observations and numerical tools to examine circulation in the ocean, its natural variability, and influence on marine ecosystems and human-nature interactions. I joined Stanford department of Oceans in 2024. Before that, I was an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Irvine.
