Xuehao Ding
Ph.D. Student in Applied Physics, admitted Autumn 2018
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am an Applied Physics PhD candidate in Baccus lab co-advised by Surya Ganguli. My research focuses on building encoding models of the retina with various biophysical properties especially for natural scenes and answering scientific questions based on computational models. I believe that the core problem in the field of sensory systems is to understand the representation manifold and I am achieving this goal with methods of differential geometry, deep learning, statistical physics, etc.

Areeq Hasan
Ph.D. Student in Applied Physics, admitted Autumn 2024
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsInterested in the fundamental physics of strongly-correlated quantum many-body systems and creating new ways to control their dynamics. Intending to use the experimental platform of ultracold atoms to explore how nature invokes entanglement in the physics of many-body systems and build new ways to control the coherent quantum dynamics of strongly-correlated systems towards the end of quantum information processing.

Andrew James Howard
Ph.D. Student in Applied Physics, admitted Autumn 2019
BioAndrew J. Howard received his B.S. in Optics from the University of Rochester in 2019. During his time at Rochester, he served as a Research Assistant in the ultrafast group at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics. He was awarded the Charles L. Newton Prize for his work. In late 2019, Howard enrolled in the Applied Physics Ph.D. program at Stanford University and was named the Albion Walter Hewlett Fellow. Here he studies experimental strong-field physics and ultrafast laser-driven molecular dynamics. He currently specializes in 3D fragment-momentum imaging, in which the three-dimensional momentum of molecular fragments produced during the interaction between a laser and a molecule yields valuable information about femtosecond molecular processes and light-matter interactions.

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.

Brendan Patrick Marsh
Ph.D. Student in Applied Physics, admitted Autumn 2018
BioBrendan Marsh is a Ph.D. candidate in Professor Benjamin Lev’s research group at Stanford University. He investigates light-matter interactions in many-body quantum systems and explores their use as a computational resource. His work more generally includes experimental quantum optics and theoretical methods to describe open quantum systems. He received a master’s degree in applied mathematics and theoretical physics from the University of Cambridge in 2018 and a B.S. in physics and mathematics from the University of Missouri in 2017.
Besides quantum optics and computation, Brendan has worked on problems in the philosophy of quantum theory (with Jeremy Butterfield at the University of Cambridge) and single molecule biophysics (with Gavin King at the University of Missouri). Along with Gavin King, he invented the Hessian blob algorithm, a general-purpose machine vision algorithm which is finding applications in fields ranging from scanning probe microscopy to medical imaging. -
Nolan Peard
Ph.D. Student in Applied Physics, admitted Autumn 2020
BioNolan is currently a PhD candidate in the Schleier-Smith Lab in the Department of Physics. He specializes in atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics, chemical physics, and materials science with a developing interest in bioengineering. Beyond his research career, Nolan is an accomplished cellist and is interested in climbing, reading, and nature.
