Lauren Simitz
Ph.D. Student in Aeronautics and Astronautics, admitted Autumn 2021
BioHi there! I'm an aerospace engineer, chemist, and geoscientist striving to both protect our world and advance technologies to explore new ones. Sustainability, teaching, and DEI are just as strong of passions, in and outside of the aerospace sector.
My work in industry (Chevron, SpaceX, Benchmark, Boeing) and academia catalyzed my interest in advancing sustainable, safe propulsion and energy systems. As a Stanford PhD candidate in the Hypersonics, Propulsion, and Energy Laboratory (HyPEL) working under Professor Ronald Hanson, I employ fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and chemical kinetics to experimentally probe combustion behavior. -

Barbara G Simpson
Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioOur research group is made up of a small team of talented students with a wide range of skills and experience. We explore advanced computational and experimental methods to characterize structural response. Our aim is to develop innovative structural systems that improve structural performance and reduce the effects of natural hazards on the built environment.
Research areas include resilient and sustainable design and retrofit of building structures and offshore renewable energy systems, performance-based earthquake engineering, and next-generation computational modeling, including real-time hybrid simulation for fluid-structure interaction. -

Karan P. Singh
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2023
Masters Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Spring 2025BioI am a third-year electrical engineering PhD student and NSF Graduate Research Fellow in the Stanford Translational AI Lab (STAI), advised by Dr. Ehsan Adeli. I am broadly interested in applied ML, and am currently working on foundation models for functional MRI to better understanding aging and brain network interactions.
Previously, I was a post-baccalaureate researcher here at Stanford, where I applied machine learning to transcranial ultrasound neuromodulation, a non-invasive therapeutic modality with the potential to cure neurological diseases such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and even addiction. My primary focus during this time was using ML to improve therapy planning accuracy and efficiency. You can view more of my research on my website!
Outside of research, I enjoy playing the piano, badminton, calisthenics, and cooking! I am also a founder and president of the Stanford Piano Society. -
Leeth Singhage
Ida Fellow, Institute for Diversity in the Arts
Undergraduate, Management Science and Engineering
Student Wardrobe Supervisor, Theater and Performance Studies
Undergraduate, Theater and Performance StudiesBioLeeth Singhage is an actor, writer, and producer from Sri Lanka, pursuing dual degrees in Management Science & Engineering (B.S.) and Theater & Performance Studies (B.A.) at Stanford. His creative work often investigates pressing current events and explores themes of identity, resilience, and cross-cultural storytelling. His writing credits include QUARANteen (2021), a verbatim-theater production on the teen experience of the COVID19 lockdowns, GROWTHesque (2022-23), a meta exploration of Sri Lanka's political and economic crisis hosted at the Edinburgh Fringe and NYC's United Solo festivals and filmed by Kehelmala Studios, Lab-Grown Meat (2023) a solo play on the incipient alt-meat industry produced at Stanford, and Yakada Yaka (2026), a full-length play on suicide currently in development in Sri Lanka and in the U.S.
Beyond appearances in his original work produced under SarongHoodie, Leeth has played lead roles across theater and screen internationally for over 10-years. Select acting credits include: "Shaan Murthy" in British TV series The Good Karma Hospital - Season 4 (2022) by Tiger Aspects Productions, "Friedrich" in the Broadway touring production of The Sound of Music (2018) by Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Really Useful Group, "Kalana" in multiple award-winning Grease Yaka Returns (2019-20) by AnandaDrama, "Ariel" in The Workshop Players' Shakespeare in the Park production of The Tempest (2017) by AnandaDrama, and "Peter Pan" in Peter Pan the Musical (2016) by COLD Theatre 7.
Leeth has worked in development for Academy® Award-winning filmmakers Jimmy Chin and Chai Vasarhelyi at Little Monster Films, for the multiple Emmy® Award-winning team at Baboon Animation, and for Sri Lankan production company, Kehelmala. Through his cross-cultural storytelling company, SarongHoodie, he aims to increase international representation of underprivileged communities in film and television. -
Andronikos Skiadopoulos
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioAndronikos Skiadopoulos is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University. His current research focuses on ductile fracture mechanics of structural steel under extreme conditions.
During his PhD at EPFL, he designed, validated, and patented a steel moment connection typology through coordinated experimental testing, detailed fracture-mechanics-informed finite element analyses, and system-level simulations.
His broader interests include the analysis and design of steel structures, fracture-critical infrastructure systems, and performance-based approaches to resilient structural design.
He holds a PhD from EPFL (2022), and a Diploma in Structural Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, NTUA (2016). -
