Warren Li
Postdoctoral Scholar, Mathematics
BioHello! I am a Stanford Science Fellow working in the Mathematics department. I am interested in the theory of nonlinear wave equations of mathematical physics, including the Einstein equations of General Relativity, the equations of gas mechanics, and related models. In particular, my research concerns a detailed understanding of "singularity formation" for such models, where energy is concentrated and interacts in such a way that the models, in some sense, break down. My focus is on understanding exactly how such a breakdown occurs and the physical implications.

Yujen Lin
Undergraduate, Art & Art History
Ug Oral Comm Tutor, Contingent
Undergraduate, Symbolic SystemsBioHello! I'm Yujen Lin and I'm a part of Stanford's class of 2027. I plan to pursue business and entrepreneurship. Currently, I am looking to be a double major in Symbolic Systems and Art History. I have been an intern for the non-profit organization Paper Bridges, supporting orphans through financial and welfare means. I've worked with SELF company in Taiwan, collaborating on restaurant businesses and films. I am passionate about researching dance in conjunction with mental health, drawing from my own experiences as a performing artist for the past fourteen years. I have worked with Kristina Marquez on research about mirror exposure and dancer's self confidence.

Andrei Linde
Humanities and Sciences Professor, Emeritus
BioWhat is the origin and the global structure of the universe?
For a long time, scientists believed that our universe was born in the big bang, as an expanding ball of fire. This scenario dramatically changed during the last 35 years. Now we think that initially the universe was rapidly inflating, being in an unstable energetic vacuum-like state. It became hot only later, when this vacuum-like state decayed. Quantum fluctuations produced during inflation are responsible for galaxy formation. In some places, these quantum fluctuations are so large that they can produce new rapidly expanding parts of the universe. This process makes the universe immortal and transforms it into a multiverse, a huge fractal consisting of many exponentially large parts with different laws of low-energy physics operating in each of them.
Professor Linde is one of the authors of inflationary theory and of the theory of an eternal inflationary multiverse. His work emphasizes the cosmological implications of string theory and supergravity.
Current areas of focus:
- Construction of realistic models of inflation based on supergravity and string theory
- Investigation of conceptual issues related to the theory of inflationary multiverse -
Scott W Linderman
Assistant Professor of Statistics
BioScott Linderman, PhD, is an Assistant Professor at Stanford University in the Statistics Department and the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute, as well as the Co-Director of the Stanford Center for Neural Data Science. His research focuses on machine learning, computational neuroscience, and the general question of how computational and statistical methods can help to decipher neural computation. His work combines novel methodological development in the areas of state space models, deep generative models, point processes, and approximate Bayesian inference with applied statistical analyses of large-scale neural and behavioral data. Previously, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University and a graduate student at Harvard University. His work has been recognized with a Savage Award from the International Society for Bayesian Analysis, an AISTATS Best Paper Award, an NSF CAREER Award, and fellowships from the McKnight, Sloan, and Simons Foundations.

Marc Lipsitch
Michael and Barbara Berberian Professor, Professor of Biology and Senior Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies
BioMarc Lipsitch and his research group study the impact of medical and public health interventions and human immunity on pathogen populations and the consequences of these changes for human health. Within this broad umbrella we consider both ecological effects (modulating the amount of transmission and infection) and evolutionary ones (shaping the genetic composition of the populations of infectious agents). Specific areas of interest include natural selection imposed by strain-specific vaccines and antibiotics, design and evaluation of measures to control outbreaks and pandemics, methods for evaluating vaccine efficacy, and surveillance design. Tools include mathematical and computational modeling, pathogen population genomics, causal inference methods, and (in the past) experimental microbiology and immunology. In addition to this scientific research, we work in the areas of research ethics and biosecurity (through an appointment at the Center for International Security and Cooperation). He joined Stanford in 2026. From 1999-2025 he was a faculty member at Harvard TH Chan Schooll of Public Health, where he was Professor of Epidemiology (20062025) and founding Director of the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics (2009-2025). He was founding Director for Science and then Senior Advisor at the CDC's Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics (2021-5).

Bingxiao Liu
Ph.D. Student in Chinese, admitted Autumn 2020
SHI Discussion Leader, Stanford Pre-Collegiate StudiesBioBingxiao Liu is a Ph.D. student in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Stanford University. Her research interests include premodern Chinese literature, cultural and intellectual history; gender and sexuality; emotions, literary and political culture. Her research examines how emotions are invoked or invented to constitute interpersonal ties in 3rd - 6th century China. Working with official histories, commentaries, inscriptions, and literary works, her project explores the reconceptualization of identity and community in emotive terms and the signification of emotion as the legitimizing basis for a new social order in medieval China.

The topics will include: a) Unraveling time-resolved dynamics in light-induced electronic response of two dimensional (2D) materials artificial structures. b) Fabrication of 1D atomically thin nanoribbon arrays and characterization of the electronic and magnetic properties for the prominent edge states. c) Lightwave manipulation with 2D superlattices. These research projects will provide participating students with broad interdisciplinary training across physics, chemistry, and materials science.

Mengyao Liu
Ph.D. Student in Classics, admitted Autumn 2022
Ph.D. Minor, Computer ScienceBioI am broadly interested in the production of knowledge in ancient worlds, with a particular interest in the Greco-Roman and Chinese traditions. My curiosity is a comparative and genealogical one at root: by comparing different societies, I seek to grasp the historicity of intellectual practices and the ideas thus produced. Currently, my research interest focuses on astronomy and astrology in Ancient Greece and China.
While completing my B.A. in Classics at Sorbonne University, I investigated how the urban metamorphoses of Rome materialized the transformation of the political regime. My master's thesis at EHESS, "Statues pour les corps, livres pour les mots" : La vie (βἰος) et la rhétorique (λόγος) dans les Discours Sacrés, offers insight into the psychosomatic relations conceived by the Greeks. The inquiry breaks into two interdependent questions: the therapeutic usage of rhetorical practices and the unconventional representation of Asclepius in the Sacred Tales of Aristides.
Having one year of training in software engineering from Tsinghua University, I am also passionate about the potentials of digital humanities. -

Rong Liu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioRong Liu is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Biology at Stanford University. Her research focuses on biodiversity, biogeography, and plant functional ecology, with particular interest in understanding how plant traits, evolutionary history, and environmental gradients shape global patterns of species diversity.
