Carlos Diaz Marin
Assistant Professor of Energy Science and Engineering
BioCarlos Diaz-Marin is an Assistant Professor in the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. He leads the Diaz Energy Lab on Theory and Advanced materials (DELTA) Group, which studies and leverages soft matter for applications in energy, water, and sustainability. The group integrates fundamental studies of material-molecule/ion interactions, synthesis, characterization, modeling, and device demonstration, while guided by technoeconomic analyses, for applications such as water production from air, carbon capture, building energy efficiency, biomass utilization, critical mineral recovery, and electrochemistry.
Before coming to Stanford, Carlos was an ARPA-E ORISE Fellow at the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) within the US Department of Energy, helping develop research funding programs in high-risk, high-reward energy and sustainability technologies. Carlos obtained his MS and PhD in Mechanical Engineering at MIT and double undergraduate degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Physics from the University of Costa Rica. -

James C. Dickerson, MD MS
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Oncology
BioDr. Dickerson is a medical oncologist in the Division of Medical Oncology at Stanford University School of Medicine, specializing in the care of patients with breast cancer. In addition to seeing patients in the clinic, he researches how health policy, data science, and emerging technologies can improve cancer care delivery. His research group focuses on three core objectives: (1) developing financially sustainable cancer care programs, (2) analyzing large clinical and administrative datasets to identify gaps where policy can improve equity and outcomes, and (3) conducting clinical and implementation research to determine the most effective ways to deliver high-quality, evidence-based oncology care.
Across these objectives, Dr. Dickerson integrates traditional real-world data analytics with modern natural language processing approaches, including large language models, to study cancer care delivery. His group develops and applies LLM-based tools to improve the extraction, structuring, and interpretation of complex clinical information from electronic health records, to enhance clinical decision-making, care coordination, and health policy evaluation.
Dr. Dickerson received his undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt University and graduated magna cum laude from the University of Mississippi Medical Center. He completed his internship and residency in Internal Medicine at Stanford University, followed by fellowship training in Hematology and Oncology. During his fellowship, Dr. Dickerson earned a Master’s degree in Health Policy and completed post-doctoral research in the Department of Health Policy.
