David Davidson
Sr Research Engineer, Mechanical Engineering
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 Associate Professor, Radiology - Rad/Nuclear Medicine
BioDr. Guido A. Davidzon is a physician-scientist board-certified in Nuclear Medicine. He is an attending physician in Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging at Stanford Health Care. He graduated with honors from medical school in Argentina and completed an internship at Yale University New-Haven Hospital in Connecticut. He did his residency and was chief resident at Stanford Health Care. He completed a U.S. National Library of Medicine-supported Biomedical Informatics fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital with a Science Master at MIT.
Dr. Davidzon is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University. His clinical specialties include molecular probe-based early diagnostic imaging of cancer, coronary artery disease, and dementia, as well as targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy for cancer treatment.
Dr. Davidzon is the Cardiac PET and SPECT program director and the acting Chair of the Radioactive Drug Research and Clinical Radiation Safety Committees. Guido steers clinical efforts in using PET to evaluate cognitive disorders and assess treatment response for patients receiving novel anti-amyloid therapies. He is an active member of the Artificial Intelligence Task Force at the SNMMI and leads research and translational efforts in artificial intelligence and nuclear medicine at Stanford. Dr. Davidzon is the immediate past President of the Northern California Chapter of the SNMMI. -

Jenna Davis
Associate Dean for Integrative Initiatives in Institutes and International Partnerships, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability 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)
On Leave from 06/30/2024 To 09/13/2024Current 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.
