Manan Arya
Assistant Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsManan Arya leads the Morphing Space Structures Laboratory. His research is on structures that can adapt their shape to respond to changing requirements. Examples include deployable structures for spacecraft that can stow in constrained volumes for launch and then unfold to larger sizes in space, terrestrial structures with variable geometry, and morphing robots. Key research thrusts include lightweight fiber-reinforced composite materials to enable innovative designs for flexible structures, and the algorithmic generation of the geometry of morphing structures – the arrangement of stiff and compliant elements – to enable novel folding mechanisms.
He has published more than 20 journal and conference papers and has been awarded 5 US patents. Prior to joining Stanford, he was a Technologist at the Advanced Deployable Structures Laboratory at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, where he developed and tested breakthrough designs for space structures, including deployable reflectarrays, starshades, and solar arrays. -
Shipra Arya, MD SM FACS
Professor of Surgery (Vascular Surgery)
BioShipra Arya, MD SM FACS is a Professor of Surgery at the Stanford University School of Medicine and section chief of vascular surgery at VA Palo Alto Healthcare System. She has a Master’s degree in epidemiology from the Harvard School of Public Health with focus on research methodology and cardiovascular epidemiology. She completed her General Surgery Residency at Creighton University Medical Center followed by a Vascular Surgery Fellowship at University of Michigan. She has been funded by American Heart Association (AHA), NIH/NIA GEMSSTAR grant, VA Palo Alto Center for Innovation and Implementation (Ci2i), and is currently funded by VA HSR&D for a multicenter stepped wedge cluster randomized clinical trial called “PAtient-centered mUltidiSciplinary Care for vEterans Undergoing Surgery (PAUSE) trial”. Her current work focuses on streamlining frailty evaluation, as well as implementation of patient and system level interventions to improve surgical quality and to provide high-value and patient centered care.
She has multiple administrative roles in surgical quality improvement as Director of Surgical Quality at VAPAHCS; Center director for Stanford University in the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI); and the Associate Medical Director of the Northern California region for VQI, which is the national registry database and patient safety organization for Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS). Her involvement in SVS VQI also extends to being a member of the steering committee of the Vascular Implant Surveillance and Interventional Outcomes Network (VISION) to improve the quality, safety and effectiveness of vascular care. She also serves as the President of the Surgical Outcomes Club, a national organization of surgical health services researchers, and chairs multiple national committees: VA surgeons committee for the SVS and Diversity and Inclusion Committee for the Association of VA surgeons. -
Asad L. Asad
Associate Professor of Sociology
BioAsad L. Asad is Associate Professor of Sociology at Stanford University, where he is a faculty affiliate of the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity. Bridging the sociology of immigration, race/ethnicity, law, and health, his research examines how institutional categories relate to social control and inequality. His multi-method work focuses on the U.S. immigration system and its disproportionate effects on Latino citizens and noncitizens. Current research projects examine the effects of immigration enforcement on health, the federal judiciary's role in immigration enforcement, and the capacity of immigrant-serving organizations to transform the U.S. immigration system.

Itai Ashlagi
Professor of Management Science and Engineering, Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research and, Professor, by courtesy, of Economics
BioItai Ashlagi is a Professor at the Management Science & Engineering Department.
He is interested in game theory and the design and analysis of marketplaces. He is especially interested in marketplaces, in which matching is an essential activity. markets, for which he developed mechanisms using tools from operations/cs and economics. His work influenced the practice of Kidney exchange, for which he has become a Franz Edelman Laureate. Ashlagi received his PhD in operations research from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology.
Before coming to Stanford he was an assistant professor of Operations Management at Sloan, MIT and prior to that a postdoctoral researcher at HBS. He is the recipient of the outstanding paper award in the ACM conference of Electronic Commerce 2009. His research is supported by the NSF including an NSF-CAREER award. -
Euan A. Ashley
Roger and Joelle Burnell Professor of Genomics and Precision Health, Arthur L. Bloomfield Professor of Medicine and Professor of Genetics, of Biomedical Data Science and, by courtesy, of Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Ashley lab is focused on precision medicine. We develop methods for the interpretation of whole genome sequencing data to improve the diagnosis of genetic disease and to personalize the practice of medicine. At the wet bench, we take advantage of cell systems, transgenic models and microsurgical models of disease to prove causality in biological pathways and find targets for therapeutic development.

Ritu Asija
Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Cardiology
BioI am a pediatric cardiac intensivist specializing in the care of infants, children, and adults with congenital heart disease and heart failure. As Associate Director of the Pulmonary Artery Reconstruction Program at Stanford, I coordinate multidisciplinary care for patients with complex pulmonary artery abnormalities and right ventricular dysfunction. My clinical and academic interests include innovation in pediatric cardiovascular care, physician well-being, and faculty development. Following my appointment as a Faculty Fellow at the Stanford Center for Biodesign (2019–2020), I have continued to develop novel technologies addressing unmet needs in pediatric medicine. I also serve as a Physician Resource Network supporter, providing peer support to the Stanford School of Medicine community, and have completed the Stanford WellMD Wellness Director course. In addition, I am pursuing coaching certification to further advance faculty development and mentorship. My institutional and national leadership roles include serving on the Stanford School of Medicine Appointments and Promotions Committee and as a member of the American Board of Pediatrics Cardiology Subboard.
