Leni Aniva
Ph.D. Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2022
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy main research interest is Machine-Assisted Theorem Proving, which refers to using machine-learning agents to find proofs of mathematical theorems and conduct reasoning. We are pursuing a hybrid algorithm between neural networks and SMT solvers to solve some of the long standing problems facing machine learning models today such as opaqueness, hallucinations, and information leakage. I also do research on SMT solvers and automatic verifications of programs.

Eric Appel
Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and Associate Professor, by courtesy, of Pediatrics (Endocrinology) and of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe underlying theme of the Appel Lab at Stanford University integrates concepts and approaches from supramolecular chemistry, natural/synthetic materials, and biology. We aim to develop supramolecular biomaterials that exploit a diverse design toolbox and take advantage of the beautiful synergism between physical properties, aesthetics, and low energy consumption typical of natural systems. Our vision is to use these materials to solve fundamental biological questions and to engineer advanced healthcare solutions.

Elijah Appelson
Masters Student in Management Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2025
BioElijah Appelson is an activist, mathematician, and computational social scientist. From 2023 to 2025, he served as the first data analyst/scientist at the ACLU of Louisiana, focusing on immigration, policing, and the broader criminal legal system. There, he conducted statistical analyses for legal cases, supported policy change, and developed educational tools, including "Visualizing Police Violence in Louisiana" and "Policing in Louisiana: By the Facts". He is skilled in web scraping, predictive modeling, and data storytelling, and uses these tools to create accountability. Prior to the ACLU, he held roles at the Center for Community Alternatives and the Vera Institute of Justice, intersecting technical expertise with a commitment to civil rights. His academic interests center on using machine learning to hold state violence accountable through education, policy, and law.

Bella Archibald
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2021
BioBella works in Professor Jennifer Brophy’s lab, and her research focuses on developing new tools to precisely engineer plants and plant root development. She hopes to create plants that are more drought tolerant and climate resilient, as well as plants with optimized root structures for enhanced bioremediation and resource recovery.
Outside of the lab, Bella loves skiing, hiking, and dancing, and her favorite flower is the Arrowleaf Balsamroot. -
Jon Arizti Sanz
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsBasidiomycetes, mushroom-forming fungi, hold great potential for converting agricultural waste into valuable food and products, but we lack basic tools to understand and engineer their metabolism. My work leverages genomic data and computational methods to develop a suite of synthetic biology tools to engineer and modulate mushrooms biology. In addition, I use Coprinopsis cinerea as a model to probe substrate-dependent growth and metabolic output across defined and real-world feedstocks.

Iro Armeni
Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioIro Armeni is Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering. She is interested in interdisciplinary research between Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Visual Machine Perception. Iro focuses on developing quantitative and data-driven methods that learn from real-world visual data to generate, predict, and simulate new or renewed built environments that place the human in the center. Iro's goal is to create sustainable, inclusive, and adaptive built environments that can support our current and future physical and digital needs. As part of her research vision, she is particularly interested in creating spaces that blend from the 100% physical (real reality) to the 100% digital (virtual reality) and anything in between, with the use of Mixed Reality.
Iro completed her PhD at Stanford University on August 2020, Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, with a PhD minor at the Computer Science Department. Afterwards she was a Postdoctoral Fellow at ETH Zurich working at both the Computer Science and Civil, Environmental, and Geomatic Engineering Departments (2023). Prior to her PhD, she received an MSc in Computer Science (Ionian University-2013), an MEng in Architecture and Digital Design (University of Tokyo-2011), and a Diploma in Architectural Engineering (National Technical University of Athens-2009). She has also worked as an architect and consultant for both the private and public sector.
Iro is the recipient of the ETH Zurich Postdoctoral Fellowship, the Google PhD Fellowship, and the MEXT Scholarship. -

Manan Arya
Assistant Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsManan Arya leads the Morphing Space Structures Laboratory. His research is on structures that can adapt their shape to respond to changing requirements. Examples include deployable structures for spacecraft that can stow in constrained volumes for launch and then unfold to larger sizes in space, terrestrial structures with variable geometry, and morphing robots. Key research thrusts include lightweight fiber-reinforced composite materials to enable innovative designs for flexible structures, and the algorithmic generation of the geometry of morphing structures – the arrangement of stiff and compliant elements – to enable novel folding mechanisms.
He has published more than 20 journal and conference papers and has been awarded 5 US patents. Prior to joining Stanford, he was a Technologist at the Advanced Deployable Structures Laboratory at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, where he developed and tested breakthrough designs for space structures, including deployable reflectarrays, starshades, and solar arrays. -
