Lama El Halabi
Ph.D. Student in Energy Science and Engineering, admitted Spring 2022
BioI am a PhD candidate in the Department of Energy Sciences and Engineering and a Data Science Scholar, advised by Adam Brandt. My research is driven by the crucial role renewable energy must play in sustainably meeting our energy demands. The major challenge in transitioning to renewable energy lies in the intermittent and inherently uncertain nature of these energy sources. My current research focuses on predicting energy outputs from these stochastically behaving sources, with an emphasis on uncertainty quantification and volatility. Specifically, I employ computer vision models and statistical techniques to develop short-term probabilistic photovoltaic (PV) power forecasts from sky images and time-series PV data. I hold an MS in Energy Resources Engineering from Stanford and a BE in Mechanical Engineering and a BS in Physics from the American University of Beirut. Previously, my research involved using machine learning to model water resources.

Ahmad Elhaija
MBA, expected graduation 2027
BioAhmad Elhaija is an MD candidate at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine and an MBA candidate at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He graduated with honors from UCLA with a BS in Psychobiology.
As an undergraduate, Ahmad founded the International Healthcare Organization (IHO), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that develops innovative safety-net healthcare systems and expands access to care in under-resourced communities. He continues to lead IHO and founded Wellness Capital, the organization’s nonprofit investment fund supporting healthcare innovation and social impact.
Ahmad’s work focuses on designing, evaluating, and scaling solutions to healthcare access challenges, particularly those involving health literacy, care navigation, and structural barriers. His experience spans digital health, health informatics, health technology development, and data analytics, with an emphasis on translating evidence into practical care-delivery models. His research examines care delivery and health outcomes among populations facing barriers to care, with published work in mental health, preventive care, medical education, health disparities, and digital health.
As a board advisor to the California Telehealth Resource Center, Ahmad has contributed to statewide efforts to strengthen digital care strategy and telehealth access. His broader interests include public policy, foreign policy, and economic development. -
Emily Ellefson
Ph.D. Student in Geological Sciences, admitted Autumn 2021
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am a palynologist, that is, I study fossilized pollen and spores! Previously I have worked on Permian-Triassic and Jurassic-Cretaceous palynology, but here at Stanford I'm excited to be exploring a new time interval and will be working on Silurian-Devonian palynology. My research will focus on how the evolution of terrestrial plants affected the marine redox record through palynology, paleobotany, and geochemistry.
