David Davidson
Research Assistant, Mechanical Engineering - Thermosciences
BioEducation
University of Toronto Physics B.S (1978)
University of Toronto Aerospace Sciences M.Sc. (1980)
York University Physics Ph.D. (1986)
Appointment:
1986-present Senior Research Engineer, Mechanical Engineering Department
Research Activities:
Dr. Davidson’s research interests span the fields of gas dynamics and combustion kinetics. During his tenure at Stanford University he investigated the chemical kinetics of combustion using a wide array of optical and laser-based diagnostic methods and advanced the use of these diagnostics in shock tubes. He co-authored over 350 research publications with his students and Professor Ronald Hanson. He continues to advise and mentor the graduate students who use shock tubes in the High Temperature Gasdynamics Laboratories. An overview of the shock tube studies performed at Stanford under Prof. Hanson’s and Dr. Davidson’s supervision can be found in the report entitled “Fundamental Kinetics Database Utilizing Shock Tube Measurements” available at http://purl.stanford.edu/kb621cw6967.
He claims he is now retired, but apparently, he is still working. -
Guido A. Davidzon
Clinical Professor, Radiology - Rad/Nuclear Medicine
BioDr. Guido Alejandro Davidzon is a Clinical Professor of Radiology in Nuclear Medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He currently serves as Director of Nuclear Cardiology at Stanford Health Care and is the Chair of the Radioactive Drug Research Committee.
Dr. Davidzon is a physician-scientist, educator, and leader whose work bridges clinical innovation, academic leadership, and translational research. His research focuses on the development and clinical translation of novel radiopharmaceuticals for use in oncology, neurodegeneration, cardiology, and pain imaging. He is also actively integrating AI-driven analytics and machine learning tools into molecular imaging to advance precision diagnostics and therapeutic decision-making.
His clinical and academic efforts include advancing theranostics, PET-based biomarker discovery, and the adoption of emerging imaging technologies in patient care. Dr. Davidzon is deeply committed to mentorship and the training of the next generation of imaging specialists and nuclear medicine professionals. -
Jenna Davis
Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, of Environmental Social Sciences and Higgins-Magid Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsProfessor Davis’ research and teaching deals broadly with the role that water plays in promoting public health and economic development, with particular emphasis on low- and middle-income countries. Her group conducts applied research that utilizes theory and analytical methods from public and environmental health, engineering, microeconomics, and planning. They have conducted field research in more than 20 countries, most recently including Zambia, Bangladesh, and Kenya.

Kara Davis
Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Hematology/Oncology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsChildhood cancers can be considered aberrations of normal tissue development. We are interested in understanding childhood cancers through the lens of normal development. Further, individual tumors are composed of heterogeneous cell populations, not all cells being equal in their ability to respond to treatment or to repopulate a tumor. Thus, we take single cell approach to determine populations of clinical relevance.

Kristen Davis
Associate Professor of Oceans and, by courtesy, of Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioI am an engineer and oceanographer who is interested in studying how physical processes shape coastal waters – combining principles of fluid mechanics, oceanography, and ecology. I use both field observations and numerical tools to examine circulation in the ocean, its natural variability, and influence on marine ecosystems and human-nature interactions. I joined Stanford department of Oceans in 2024. Before that, I was an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Irvine.
