Paul McIntyre
Rick and Melinda Reed Professor, Professor of Photon Science and Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy
BioMcIntyre's group performs research on nanostructured inorganic materials for applications in electronics, energy technologies and sensors. He is best known for his work on metal oxide/semiconductor interfaces, ultrathin dielectrics, defects in complex metal oxide thin films, and nanostructured Si-Ge single crystals. His research team synthesizes materials, characterizes their structures and compositions with a variety of advanced microscopies and spectroscopies, studies the passivation of their interfaces, and measures functional properties of devices.

Safyer McKenzie-Sampson
Member, Maternal & Child Health Research Institute (MCHRI)
BioSafyer McKenzie-Sampson is an IDEAL Provostial Fellow and instructor within the Department of Pediatrics at Stanford University. Dr. McKenzie-Sampson is a social and perinatal epidemiologist, focused on researching the multi-level impacts of exposure to racism across the life course on the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes in Black communities, with the goal of translating findings into interventions to increase birth justice. Her research portfolio uniquely interrogates the rates of adverse perinatal outcomes through the lens of maternal nativity in the United States which allows for focus on the experiences of Black immigrants. She is currently the principal investigator of the AZANIA study, a mixed methods pilot study which collects data on the pregnancy and childbirth experiences of African immigrants in California. Dr. McKenzie-Sampson received her PhD in Epidemiology and Translational Science from the University of California San Francisco, and in addition to her research, she supports families in the Bay Area as a full-spectrum community doula.

Beverley J McKeon
Professor of Mechanical Engineering
BioBeverley McKeon is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. Previously she was the Theodore von Karman Professor of Aeronautics at the Graduate Aerospace Laboratories at Caltech (GALCIT) and a former Deputy Chair of the Division of Engineering and Applied Science. She received M.A. and M.Eng. degrees from the University of Cambridge and a Ph.D. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University. Her research interests include interdisciplinary approaches to manipulation of boundary layer flows using morphing surfaces, fundamental experimental investigations of wall turbulence at high Reynolds number, the development of resolvent analysis for modeling turbulent flows, and assimilation of experimental data for efficient low-order flow modeling. McKeon was the recipient of a Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship from the DoD in 2017, a Presidential Early Career Award (PECASE) in 2009 and an NSF CAREER Award in 2008, and is a Fellow of the APS and AIAA. She currently serves as co-Lead Editor of Phys. Rev. Fluids and on the editorial board of the Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, and is past Editor-in-Chief of Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science. She is the Past Chair of the US National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and the APS representative.

Nick McKeown
Kleiner Perkins, Mayfield, Sequoia Capital Professor in the School of Engineering and Professor of Computer Science, Emeritus
BioMcKeown researches techniques to improve the Internet. Most of this work has focused on the architecture, design, analysis, and implementation of high-performance Internet switches and routers. More recently, his interests have broadened to include network architecture, backbone network design, congestion control; and how the Internet might be redesigned if we were to start with a clean slate.

Dr Ross McKerracher
International Security Affairs Fellow, HOOVER RESEARCH
BioRoss McKerracher is serving as the inaugural International Security Affairs Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, while on a one-year leave from his national security role in the Australian Government.
With physics, neuroscience and engineering qualifications, Ross has spent 20 years in the Australian Public Service: in regulatory, policy, national security and senior executive roles. In these roles he’s advised the governments on the strategic, national security, economic and political implications of cyberspace, science and technology issues. He has also built and led institutional capabilities in these areas.
Ross takes an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to help senior decision-makers understand the effect of technology on how states exercise power, and how the exercise of state power affects technological development. He works with a range of government agencies, as well as private sector and academic partners – fusing disciplines such as science (including data science), engineering, economics, history, strategic studies and political science.
At Hoover he will focus on how technology intersects with alliances and strategic competition. More specifically how the trajectory of US–China technological competition will affect the balances of power between the US, China and other nation states. His analysis will include technologies such as AI, quantum technologies, space, semiconductors, biotechnology; and cross-cutting factors such as research strength, talent, supply chains, capital flows and market access. He’s seeking to use quantitative and qualitative methods – harnessing AI tools where feasible.
Ross has a PhD in Physics (nonlinear fibre optics) from the University of Sydney and undergraduate degrees in Electronic Engineering (Honours I) and Science (Physiology and Neuroscience) from the University of Western Australia.
