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.

Kaden Loring
Ph.D. Student in Applied Physics, admitted Autumn 2021
BioKaden Loring began his PhD in Applied Physics at Stanford University in September 2021. Loring's research specialization is laser-based diagnostics for fusion-relevant plasmas. Loring received his bachelor's degree from the University of Florida in May 2020 in Physics. He is passionate about research aimed at the development of nuclear fusion for energy. In his free-time, Loring enjoys spending time in nature whenever possible.

Liqun Luo
Ann and Bill Swindells Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Neurobiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study how neurons are organized into specialized circuits to perform specific functions and how these circuits are assembled during development. We have developed molecular-genetic and viral tools, and are combining them with transcriptomic, proteomic, physiological, and behavioral approaches to study these problems. Topics include: 1) assembly of the fly olfactory circuit; 2) assembly of neural circuits in the mouse brain; 3) organization and function of neural circuits; 4) Tool development.

Grzegorz M. Madejski
Lecturer, Physics
BioMy English-speaking friends know me as Greg. I was born in Poland, but my college and graduate education was in the US, respectively at MIT and Harvard. After spending 14 years at NASA/Goddard, I arrived in Stanford in 2000. My research interests are mainly in extragalactic high-energy astrophysics. This includes (1) studies of active galactic nuclei, and an associated formation and evolution of relativistic jets; and (2) studies of clusters of galaxies, and in particular the processes responsible for the heating of the X-ray emitting intra-cluster gas. Besides taking advantage of data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Observatory, I am involved in analyzing and interpreting observations performed with X-ray satellites such as NuSTAR, a recently-launched NASA satellite, sensitive in the hard X-ray band, and Hitomi, a joint Japanese - US X-ray astronomy mission.

Raghu Mahajan
Visiting Assistant Professor, Physics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research interests are wide-ranging:
1) In the context of gravity, how does spacetime emerge from its dual quantum system? How does the dual quantum system encode the answers to questions that involve local physics in semi-classical gravity? How do you avoid the "firewall" paradox in the context of black-hole evaporation?
2) How do you calculate electrical and heat currents in strongly-coupled many-body systems? How do you explain the linear-in-temperature resistivity in high-temperature cuprates?
3) Use tensor network methods to study electrical and heat transport and also the real-time dynamics of systems out of thermal equilibrium.
