Shadi Elaridi
Masters Student in Mechanical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2020
BioI'm Shadi Elaridi, a Senior Undergraduate student studying Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. My concentration is in Product Realization and among my many passions, I aspire to engineer affordable products that bring the world together in solving problems. Having lived overseas for nine years, I have gained firsthand experience of global inequities. I aim to use affordable, efficient engineering as a means of combatting these inequities.
My research interests fall within designing for extreme environments and using mechanical engineering design to bridging global resource gaps. Please, feel free to reach out with any questions you may have!

Tim Flint
Ph.D. Student in Mechanical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2017
BioI am a PhD candidate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University working with Professor Parviz Moin . My PhD research is on the receptivity of the flow field around high-speed bodies. I hope to understand how free-stream disturbances excite instabilities that may grow and become relevant to boundary layer transition in high-speed flight.

Chris Ford
Ph.D. Student in Mechanical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2013
Ph.D. Minor, Civil and Environmental EngineeringBioChris is a design professional, design educator, and design researcher in the fields of Architecture and Infrastructure design. He engages our imminently urban future through design-actionable research of the built environment from a user-centered perspective.
As a design professional, Chris has worked in the offices of Richard Meier & Partners (New York), Rick Joy Architects (Tucson) and Rob Paulus Architects (Tucson). Projects assisted or managed include residential (single and multi-family), commercial and infrastructural typologies. Chris is a licensed architect in the State of North Carolina.
As a design educator, Chris is a former lecturer in the Architecture program at the University of Arizona, and is a former Associate Professor of Architecture (with tenure) in the College of Architecture at the University of Nebraska. He regularly taught undergraduate and graduate design studios including the NAAB Comprehensive Project, elective courses in Design Methodology and Modern Craft, and advised Design Thesis. In Spring 2013, Chris coordinated the "London | 2013" Program where his funded research prompted coursework titled Hybridized Urban Infrastructures.
Chris is a PhD Candidate in the Mechanical Engineering Design Group at Stanford University. During this time, he was also the 2016-2019 Hamamoto Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellow. He is advised by the founding Director of the Center for Design Research, Professor Larry Leifer, PhD. As a research coordinator for the Urban Futures initiative, Chris applies Design Thinking to demonstrated problems in the built environment including housing, lifeline systems, and urban resilience.
Chris is a co-founding Editorial Board member for Technology | Architecture + Design (TAD Journal), a new peer-review scholarly journal published by the ACSA and printed by Taylor & Francis. He has served as Associate Editor for the issues "Viral," "Simulations," "Open," and "Measured." He has also served as Issue Editor for both "Urbanizing," and "Engineering."
To guarantee exposure to the practices of multiple design disciplines, Chris maintains memberships with SPUR, ACSA, AIA, ASME, and the ASCE, where he additionally serves on the national Infrastructure Resilience Division - Emerging Technology Committee.
