Qitong Li
Postdoctoral Scholar, Applied Physics
BioI am an experimental and applied physicist, focusing on extreme light-matter interaction at the nanoscale. I am currently working with Prof. Tony F. Heinz as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Applied Physics at Stanford University. Before my current position, I obtained my Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Stanford University in 2022 under the guidance of Prof. Mark L. Brongersma and my B.Sc. in Physics from Peking University in 2016.
My research concentrates on developing platforms with state-of-the-art tailored (optically resonant) nanostructures to achieve improved control over the photon-electron interaction at the nanoscale. This immediately allows us to create novel photonic and optoelectronic device concepts by coupling free-space lights into a series of well-engineered quantized optical modes and co-engineering electronic and optical components together. We therefore foresee a system-level revolution in industry enabled by nanotechnology. On the other hand, by providing a non-trivial and tunable optical, electrical, and mechanical nano-environment, this platform also fundamentally functions as a versatile tool and offers a new degree of freedom to better probe, study, and control various quantum properties and excitations in solids, especially those enhanced ones in low-dimensional materials. This will ultimately lead us to have a clearer understanding of unconventional phenomena in quantum materials and start to utilize them in a more controllable way. -
Yangjie Li
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemistry
Current Research and Scholarly Interests1. Fragment correlation mass spectrometry for correlating ion pairs generated from the same fragmentation pathway, achieved by covariance mapping of tandem mass spectra
2. Use mass spectrometry for synthesis and analysis in microdroplets and at solid surfaces, focusing on air/solution, solid/solution, and liquid/liquid interfaces -
Licheng Liu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Political Science
BioLicheng Liu is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Political Science. He defended his Ph.D. dissertation in Political Science and Statistics at MIT in May 2024.
Licheng specializes in Political Methodology and International Political Economy. He works on proposing new methods for casual inference with longitudinal and network data using both frequentist and Bayesian approaches, and their applications in empirical studies like trade politics and comparative political behavior. -
Lin Liu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemistry
BioI finished my undergraduate study in general chemistry at Shandong Normal University in 2014. Later, I continued to my master’s studies in organic chemistry at Lanzhou University. In 2018, I moved to Baylor University conducting research under the mentorship of Professor John L. Wood. During my graduate studies, I mainly focused on the total syntheses of natural products. In 2024, I joined the Khosla lab and Cui lab as a joint postdoc. Outside the lab, I like cooking, playing basketball, and watching movies

Qiao Liu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Statistics
BioI am currently a postdoctoral scholar at the Department of Statistics, Stanford University, advised by Prof. Wing Hung Wong. I will be joining the Department of Biostatistics, Yale University as an tenure-track assistant professor at 2025 Fall. My general research interest lies in the multi-disciplinary area where I have been committed to developing practical statistical and machine learning tools with significance in both statistical theory and applications. In particular, I have been pursuing this research agenda by exploiting the advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI) to tackle several fundamental statistical problems, such as density estimation, causal inference, and unsupervised learning with also broad applications in computational biology.

Gabriela Lomeli
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemistry
BioGabriela is a Propel Postdoctoral Scholar, co-advised by Professor Carolyn Bertozzi and Professor Polly Fordyce. Gabriela earned her PhD from the UC Berkeley – UC San Francisco Graduate Program in Bioengineering and holds a BS in Chemical Engineering from Stanford University. Her research is broadly centered on the development of microfluidic tools for protein analysis and protein engineering. At present, her main project seeks to engineer proteases to target mucins using a high-throughput microfluidic platform.

David Long
Postdoctoral Scholar, Physics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDavid is a theoretical condensed matter physicist with an expertise in systems far from equilibrium. His research focuses on the dynamics of quantum systems, including many-body dynamics, the process of thermalization in nearly-localized systems, and on robust topological effects in driven systems.

Yougeng Lu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioYougeng Lu (he/him/his) is a Postdoctoral Scholar with the Natural Capital Project on developing urban nature exposure model. His research focuses on exploring the linkages between exposure to urban nature, such as green space and street trees, and individual's physical activity and mental health. Yougeng received his Ph.D. in Urban Planning and Development from the University of Southern California, where he developed a high spatiotemporal resolution PM2.5 prediction model with low-cost air sensors and studied how people's travel behavior affects their air pollution exposure. He holds an M.Sc. in Urban Planning from University of Washington, Seattle; and a B.Sc. in Geography from Wuhan University, China.

Simon Sihang Luo
Postdoctoral Scholar, Political Science
BioSimon Sihang Luo is a political theorist whose work focuses on comparative political theory, contemporary political theory, and radicalism. He holds a Ph.D. in political science from Indiana University, Bloomington.
Simon’s current book project investigates the multiple uses of the memories of the Cultural Revolution in theoretical debates in the contemporary Chinese intellectual sphere. By tracing the genealogy of Cultural Revolution memories in post-Mao China, the book project demonstrates how political actors holding different ideological positions make the Cultural Revolution a usable past as they articulate different visions of China’s political future. By so doing, the book project analyzes how the past is useful for democratic and antidemocratic politics in a rapidly changing society, and how narratives of a revolutionary historical event constitute a repertoire of political knowledge for the public sphere.
Simon has published scholarly articles about democratic theory and global encounters of ideas. In public writings in both English and Chinese, Simon has written about the history of political thought, political emotions, historical interpretations, labor politics, and the transnational dissemination of political knowledge.
Simon has taught multiple courses, in various roles, in political theory, Chinese politics, American politics, and ethics. At Stanford, Simon will continue to bring his research interests to the pressing issues in domestic and global politics of our age in his classroom, and offer courses related to political memories, citizenship, radical political theory, and the rise of China.
