Linda M. Dairiki Shortliffe
Stanley McCormick Memorial Professor in the School of Medicine, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe timing for intervention in obstruction in the infant and child is poorly understood.Our group has been interested in trying to define the risks that may be involved in obstructive and infectious uropathies and discovering early signs of damage to the urinary tract and kidney. We have explored ways of imaging the urinary tract using nonionizing radiation (US, MRI). We have studied the relationships of sex steroid hormones, pregnancy, reflux, urinary tract infection and urinary tract function.

Harshit Singh
Research Assistant, Woods Research Natural Capital Project
Staff, Woods Research Natural Capital ProjectBioHarshit Singh is an AI Researcher and Engineer working across generative AI, agentic systems, and environmental modeling. He is currently working on the Natural Capital Project at Stanford, where he develops LLM-driven workflows for the InVEST ecosystem to enhance automation, data integration, and sustainable development research. He is also building HarshanAI, an emotionally intelligent voice-AI companion.
Previously, he worked at Amazon Web Services, contributing to Bedrock Flows and AgentCore for large-scale generative AI systems and at the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, leading DiffuseKronA as first author and advancing parameter-efficient methods for personalized diffusion models. He has also supported climate and energy research at the Center for Global Sustainability, University of Maryland through the development of G-MAST, a global methane abatement solutions database. His work emphasizes practical innovation, scalable AI systems, and applying machine learning to real-world societal and sustainability challenges. -
Olav Solgaard
Audrey S. Hancock Professor in the School of Engineering
BioThe Solgaard group focus on design and fabrication of nano-photonics and micro-optical systems. We combine photonic crystals, optical meta-materials, silicon photonics, and MEMS, to create efficient and reliable systems for communication, sensing, imaging, and optical manipulation.

George Somero
David and Lucile Packard Professor in Marine Science, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe examine two aspects of organism-environment interactions: How does stress from physical (e.g., temperature) and chemical (oxygen levels, pH) factors perturb organisms and how do organisms respond, adaptively, to cope with this stress? We examine evolutionary adaptation and phenotypic acclimatization using a wide variety of marine animals, including Antarctic fishes and invertebrates from intertidal habitats on the coastlines of temperate and tropical seas.
