Ram Rajagopal
Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, of Electrical Engineering and Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy
BioRam Rajagopal is an Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University, where he directs the Stanford Sustainable Systems Lab (S3L), focused on large-scale monitoring, data analytics and stochastic control for infrastructure networks, in particular, power networks. His current research interests in power systems are in the integration of renewables, smart distribution systems, and demand-side data analytics.
He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences and an M.A. in Statistics, both from the University of California Berkeley, Masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering from University of Texas, Austin and Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award, Powell Foundation Fellowship, Berkeley Regents Fellowship and the Makhoul Conjecture Challenge award. He holds more than 30 patents and several best paper awards from his work and has advised or founded various companies in the fields of sensor networks, power systems, and data analytics. -
Fatemeh Sadat Rassouli
Sample Preparation Laboratory Manager, Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability - Dean's Office
BioI am the Sample Preparation Lab Manager at Stanford University’s Doerr School of Sustainability, where my role combines laboratory management, research support, and ongoing scientific research. My work includes developing and maintaining laboratory capabilities for the preparation and processing of rocks, minerals, soils, sediments, and other Earth materials, as well as supporting researchers and students with experimental workflows and laboratory methods.
I earned my Ph.D. in Geophysics from Stanford University in 2017 and my M.S. in Geophysics and Seismology from Stanford in 2015. My research has focused on the time-dependent mechanical behavior of geomaterials, particularly the creep and viscoplastic deformation of carbonate rocks and clay-rich shales under different reservoir conditions and across multiple scales. As a postdoctoral researcher in Stanford’s Department of Geophysics from 2018 to 2020, I extended this work to investigate the thermo-viscoplastic behavior of shale rocks.
I also hold an M.S. in Mining Engineering from the University of Tehran, where I investigated the creep behavior of soft rocks, including salts, mudrocks, and tuffs, using impression creep testing. I conducted this experimental research at the University of Tehran, Tokai University in Japan, and Toyota National College of Technology. In addition, I hold a master’s degree in Education, complementing my scientific background with formal training in teaching and education.
