Unofficial Past Students and Post Docs:
(i.e. where I believe I played the corresponding mentoring role, but the connection
was unofficial - a shameless attempt to claim partial credit):
Shoucheng Zhang - (did his final year of PhD work, the part in CMT, under my direction and
worked with me extensively while a post doc)
Jainendra Jain - (did the final portion of his PhD work, the part relevant to the quantum
Hall effect, under my guidance and worked with me extensively while a post doc)
Daniel Rokhsar - (No official connection at all, but did significant portion of both his
graduate and post-doctoral research in collaboration with me.)
Akash Maharaj - (was a student of Srinivas Raghu with whom he worked extensively, but
he also did a significant portion of his graduate research in collaboration with me.) -
Sreekanth Kizhakkumpurath Manikandan
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemistry
BioI am interested in developing theoretical and computational tools to study dissipative processes at the nanoscale. I also work closely with experimental groups at the interface of biophysics, soft matter physics, and chemistry, and I have contributed to testing our theoretical findings on experimental data.

Richard Klein
Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor in the School of Humanities and Sciences and Professor of Anthropology and of Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCoevolution of human form and behavior over the past 6-7 million years, with special emphasis on the emergence of fully modern humans in the past 60-50,000 years. Field and lab research in South Africa.

Courtney Klepac
Postdoctoral Scholar, Hopkins Marine Station
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsCourtney will be involved with mapping coral heat resistance across multiple Pacific reefs as part of a collaborative (NSF) Super Reefs project, where she will train and collaborate with local students and researchers on coral tolerance experiments. By investigating the influence of environment, physiological plasticity, and genetic adaptation on the stress tolerance scope of corals, her research aims are to understand how corals will respond to future climate change and identify putatively tolerant corals for management.

Dan Kluger
Ph.D. Student in Statistics, admitted Autumn 2018
BioI am a final-year PhD student in statistics. I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Art Owen and am also fortunate to work under the supervision of Professor David Lobell. I am grateful to be supported by a Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowship as a James and Nancy Kelso Fellow. My research interests include multiple hypothesis testing, data fusion, and applications of statistics to agronomy and remote sensing.

Christopher Knight
Ph.D. Student in Biology, admitted Autumn 2019
BioChris (he/him) is a Biology PhD candidate, a Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellow, and a National Geographic Explorer. He employs a planetary health approach to understand the linkages between ecosystem and human health - with the goal of improving accessibility to safe and nutritious seafood. Chris investigates the social and ecological connections of ciguatera poisoning, a debilitating seafood-borne disease, across Kiribati in collaboration with the Kiribati Government and the Pacific Planetary Health Initiative. As a US Fulbright Fellow in Italy, he explores how climate change impacts the nutritional content of seafood and the potential consequences for human nutrition. Chris is deeply interested in environmental justice issues and is drawn to working on research questions and solutions that can improve the lives of others and minimize social and economic inequalities. Furthermore, he strives to foster an inclusive and welcoming community in academia. Chris was a NSF Graduate Research Fellow, a Fulbright Fellow to Chile, and earned a MS in Biology from San Diego State University, as well as a BA in both Ecology and Spanish from the University of California, Davis. Chris is co-advised by Dr. Larry Crowder and Dr. Fiorenza Micheli.

Eric Kool
George A. and Hilda M. Daubert Professor of Chemistry
Current Research and Scholarly Interests• Design of cell-permeable reagents for profiling, modifying, and controlling RNAs
• Developing fluorescent probes of DNA repair pathways, with applications in cancer, aging, and neurodegenerative disease
• Discovery and development of small-molecule modulators of DNA repair enzymes, with focus on cancer and inflammation -
Ron Kopito
Professor of Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur laboratory use state-of-the-art cell biological, genetic and systems-level approaches to understand how proteins are correctly synthesized, folded and assembled in the mammalian secretory pathway, how errors in this process are detected and how abnormal proteins are destroyed by the ubiquitin-proteasome system.

Jason Kronenfeld
Ph.D. Student in Chemistry, admitted Autumn 2021
BioJason Kronenfeld holds a Bachelors of Science in Chemistry with minors in French and Math from The University of Arizona (Graduated May 2021, Summa Cum Laude with Honors). Jason spent his time at UArizona conducting research in Benjamin J. Renquist's group and working with Honors students as a Resident Assistant.
He joined the Renquist research group in 2017 where he has worked on projects related to lactation, metabolic rate, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, asthma, and more. He led work on two projects. 1) Understanding the mechanism by which heat suppresses food intake as an effect of global warming. Increasing heat-stressed food intake is proposed to increase milk production in lactating mammals, increase animal efficiency, and decrease milk production costs. 2) Creating a novel approach to address glycemic control for treatment of type two diabetes mellitus – a collaboration with Dr. Khanna's research group to conduct in silico, in vivo, and in vitro testing of the novel approach.
In Fall 2021, Jason entered the Stanford University PhD program in chemistry, to be eventually followed with a post-doctoral fellowship with the ultimate goal of acting as a principal investigator in academia. He performs research in the DeSimone Lab focused on applications of high-resolution continuous liquid interface production (CLIP) under a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. Outside of the lab, Jason is involved in research ethics and public communication initiatives as well as a student-led waltz performance group (Stanford Committee on Research, The Civilian, and the Viennese Ball Opening Committee, respectively).
