Dan Edelstein
William H. Bonsall Professor of French, Professor, by courtesy, of History, of Political Science and Senior Fellow, by courtesy, at the Hoover Institution
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy current research lies in the fields of intellectual history, political thought, and digital humanities (DH). I recently published a book that explores the history of rights from the Wars of Religion to the Age of Revolutions; I'm currently working on a book that explores the intellectual history of revolution; I have a number of papers on Rousseau's political thought underway; and I continue to work on a number of DH projects.

Asiri Ediriwickrema MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Hematology)
BioAsiri Ediriwickrema, MD, PhD, is a physician-scientist who leads a systems hematology laboratory at Stanford and directs a clinical practice focused on myelodysplastic neoplasms and clonal hematopoiesis. Asiri leads a research group that studies hematopoiesis—the complex process by which hematopoietic stem cells generate the diverse blood cells essential for health throughout life. We study how individual blood cells change during aging and cancer development, with particular focus on how dysregulation of this process leads to cytopenias and hematologic malignancies.
Our work integrates expertise spanning clinical medicine, functional hematology, molecular and cellular biology, genomics, bioinformatics, and machine learning. By combining advanced experimental techniques with computational approaches, we examine blood cell development and function at single-cell resolution. We aim to identify early cellular changes in cancer development, map how stem cells interact within their tissue environments, and develop computational tools that predict stem cell behavior and disease progression. Our goal is to translate these efforts into improved diagnostics and precision therapeutic strategies for patients with blood disorders and malignancies.
Dr. Ediriwickrema earned his undergraduate degree in Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, his MD (Cum Laude) from Yale University, and his PhD from Stanford University. He completed his residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Hematology at Stanford, where he also conducted his doctoral and postdoctoral research in the laboratory of Dr. Ravi Majeti. His research identified novel populations of multipotent progenitor cells in normal hematopoiesis and leukemia stem cells in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). -
Zachary Edmonds, MD, MBA
Academic Staff - Hourly - CSL, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
Adjunct Professor, Medicine - Cardiovascular MedicineBioAdjunct Professor of Medicine | Cardiovascular Medicine | Stanford Medicine
Seasoned clinician with a proven track record of mentoring medtech entrepreneurs and early stage companies in the development of life changing technologies. As the Associate Director of the PAMF Hospital Medicine service line he co-leads a team of 30 physicians across 3 community hospitals in the Bay Area. When not seeing patients, he serves as the Chief Medical Officer at Fogarty Innovation where he mentors a variety of early stage companies. As an Adjunct Professor of Medicine at Stanford he works closely with the Biodesign group to teach and mentor students and Biodesign fellows. He co-teaches the Biodesign Innovation graduate course which is offered to Stanford graduate students in the school of medicine, school of engineering and the graduate school of business each winter and spring quarter. Zach holds an MD from the UCLA School of Medicine and an MBA from the UCLA Anderson School of Management. He completed Internal Medicine Residency and the Biodesign Fellowship at Stanford University. -
Christopher Edwards
Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Emeritus
BioThe Edwards research group is focused on fundamental research for advanced energy technologies. The group performs theoretical and experimental studies of energy transformations such that the conversion process can be made cleaner, more efficient, and more controllable than has been possible with traditional technologies. Applications include advanced transportation engines (piston and turbine) and advanced electric power generation with carbon mitigation.

Matthew R. Edwards
Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering
BioMatthew Edwards is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering. His research applies high-power lasers to the development of optical diagnostics for fluids and plasmas, the study of intense light-matter interactions, and the construction of compact light and particle sources, combining adaptive high-repetition-rate experiments and large-scale simulations to explore new regimes in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, and plasma physics.
Matthew received BSE, MA, and PhD degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University. He was then a Lawrence Fellow in the National Ignition Facility and Photon Science Directorate at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. -
Paul N. Edwards
BioI retired in January 2026 to escape rising fascism in the USA. Until then, I was Director of the Program on Science, Technology & Society (STS) and a Senior Research Scholar at the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford. I also co-directed the Stanford Existential Risks Initiative with Prof. Steve Luby.
I'm also Professor of Information and History (Emeritus) at the University of Michigan, where I worked for 19 years in the School of Information, the Dept. of History, and the STS Program. I taught previously at Stanford from 1992-1998, in the STS Program and the Computer Science Dept.
I study the history, politics, and culture of information infrastructures, especially climate knowledge systems. My books include A Vast Machine: Computer Models, Climate Data, and the Politics of Global Warming (MIT Press, 2010), The Closed World: Computers and the Politics of Discourse in Cold War America (MIT Press, 1996), and Changing the Atmosphere: Expert Knowledge and Environmental Governance (MIT Press, 2001, co-edited with Clark Miller). With Janet Vertesi (Princeton), I'm academic editor of the MIT Press book series Infrastructures.
I served as one of 234 Lead Authors for the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Working Group I (Physical Sciences), released in August 2021. -
Charles (Chuck) Eesley
Professor of Management Science and Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI study how institutions shape technology-based entrepreneurship. My research identifies the institutional environments that encourage the founding of high-growth, engineering-driven firms, and shows that effective institutional change influences who starts firms and whether they succeed — not just how many firms are started. My recent work extends this agenda to AI: how AI systems function as new institutional actors shaping entrepreneurial opportunity, and how AI can be used as a research tool

Elizabeth Egan
Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Infectious Diseases) and of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMalaria is a parasitic disease transmitted by mosquitos that is a leading cause of childhood mortality globally. Public health efforts to control malaria have historically been hampered by the rapid development of drug resistance. The goal of our research is to understand the molecular determinants of critical host-pathogen interactions in malaria, with a focus on the erythrocyte host cell. Our long-term goal is to develop novel approaches to prevent or treat malaria and improve child health.
