Ines M. L. Azevedo
Perry L. McCarty Director at the Woods Institute for the Environment, Professor of Energy Science Engineering, Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy, at the Woods Institute and Professor, by courtesy, of Earth System Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsProfessor Azevedo is passionate about solving problems that include environmental, technical, economic, and policy issues, where traditional engineering approaches play an important role but cannot provide a complete answer. In particular, she is interested in assessing how energy systems are likely to evolve, which requires comprehensive knowledge of the technologies that can address future energy needs and the decision-making process followed by various agents in the economy.

. Aziza
Fall 2026 CSP Instructor BUS 311, Continuing Studies
BioBruno Aziza is a tech executive who has spent the last 30 years helping scale small, medium and large organization scale globally.
Bruno has led teams at Microsoft and most recently at Google Cloud where he helped the company become a Top 5 enterprise software company (starting practically from 0). He has helped launch 4 startups (2 acquired), has advised and help invest in leaders like Databricks, Dataiku, UiPath, Stripe and hundreds of tech startups. He’s raised over 11 rounds for his companies and help lead multiple acquisitions, most recently Confluent for over $11B. Bruno is currently GVP at IBM and a member of the IBM Ventures Investor Committee.
He’s a builder, a customer-centric operator, investor and advisor to CEOs. His work has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Harvard Business Review, VentureBeat, TechCrunch, ZDNet, and Business Insider, among others.
A dual citizen of France and the United States, his perspective is shaped by an international background and executive education at MIT, Harvard, and UC Berkeley.
At Stanford, he teaches BUS 311: AI-Driven Product Strategy — a practitioner course built around a single question: how do you turn technology into a primary driver of customer value?

Muriel Babey
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology)
BioMuriel Babey, M.D. is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Endocrinology, Gerontology & Metabolism at Stanford University. She is a physician–scientist who specializes in metabolic bone disease and osteoporosis, with a focus on skeletal health during reproductive transitions and aging, as well as disorders of calcium and parathyroid metabolism.
Originally from Switzerland, Dr. Babey earned her medical degree in Switzerland and completed fellowship training in Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco. During her postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Holly Ingraham at UCSF, her work focused on identifying CCN3 as a maternal brain–derived osteoanabolic hormone critical for lactation, uncovering a previously unrecognized neuroendocrine axis regulating bone formation and marrow adiposity.
Dr. Babey directs a research program that integrates human cohort studies with mechanistic models to define endocrine pathways coordinating skeletal and metabolic resilience across reproductive transitions and aging. Her work centers on identifying secreted factors and interorgan communication networks that regulate bone health, with the goal of advancing translational strategies for osteoporosis and related metabolic diseases. Her research is supported by an NIH K08 award, and she is a recipient of the Endocrine Society Early Investigator Award and the ASBMR John Haddad Early Investigator Award. -

Rosa Bacchetta
Professor (Research) of Pediatrics (Stem Cell Transplantation)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsIn the coming years, I plan to further determine the genetic and immunological basis of diseases with autoimmunity or immune dysregulation in children. I believe that much can still be learned from the in depth mechanistic studies of pediatric autoimmune diseases. Genomic analysis of the patients' samples has become possible which may provide a rapid indication of altered target molecules. I plan to implement robust functional studies to define the consequences of these genetic abnormalities and bridge them to the patient's clinical phenotype.
Understanding functional consequences of gene mutations in single case/family first and then validating the molecular and cellular defects in other patients with similar phenotypes, will anticipate and complement cellular and gene therapy strategies.

Stephen A. Baccus
Professor of Neurobiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study how the neural circuitry of the vertebrate retina encodes visual information and performs computations. To control and measure the retinal circuit, we present visual images while performing simultaneous two-photon imaging and multielectrode recording. We perturb the circuit as it operates using simultaneous intracellular current injection and multielectrode recording, and use the resulting large data sets to construct models of retinal computation.

Laura K. Bachrach
Professor of Pediatrics (Endocrinology) at the Lucile Salter Packard Children's Hospital, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsPrevention of osteoporosis begins in childhood and adolescence by measures that maximize acquistion of bone mineral during the critical adolescent years. Body mass, calcium nutriture, physical activity, growth and sex steroid hormones, and genetic factors are all thought to be important determinants of bone mass although the relative contribution of each remains controversial.

Leah Backhus
Thelma and Henry Doelger Professor of Cardiovascular Surgery
BioLeah Backhus trained in general surgery at the University of Southern California and cardiothoracic surgery at the University of California Los Angeles. She practices at Stanford Hospital and is Chief of Thoracic Surgery at the VA Palo Alto. Her surgical practice consists of general thoracic surgery with special emphasis on thoracic oncology and minimally invasive surgical techniques. She also has special clinical expertise in adult chest wall surgery (including pectus excavated) and intrathoracic/intrapleural chemotherapy (HITHOC/PITAC) used to treat mesothelioma and other pleural tumors. She is Co-Director of the Thoracic Surgery Clinical Research Program, and has received grant funding through the Veterans Affairs Administration and NIH. Her current research interests are in imaging surveillance following treatment for lung cancer and cancer survivorship. She is a member of the National Lung Cancer Roundtable of the American Cancer Society and the Task Group on Health Equity. As an educator, Dr. Backhus is the Associate Program Director for the Thoracic Track Residency and is former Chair of the ACGME Residency Review Committee for Thoracic Surgery.
