Rachel Schten
Juris Doctor Student, Law
BioI am a first year student at Stanford Law School with broad interests across both private and public practice.
Prior to Stanford Law School, I studied Environmental Economics & Policy and Urban Studies at UC Berkeley where I worked as the Research and Administrative Assistant of Professor Karen Chapple who chaired the Department of City and Regional Planning there.
I also previously worked as a Research Assistant at the Center for Community Innovation and the Urban Displacement Project where I worked on research investigating housing, displacement and exclusion in the San Francisco Bay Area. In addition, I was awarded a Greater Good Science Center Fellowship and a College of Environmental Design Diversity Platforms Initiative Award Grant for my research project on the intersection of COVID-19, disability, and disaster planning.
In both my academics and career, I've always been most engaged by challenges requiring multi-faceted yet targeted solutions. -

William Scott
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources, admitted Autumn 2019
BioWilliam Scott (he/him) is a PhD Candidate at Stanford University in the Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources (E-IPER). His research focuses on evaluating climate and energy policy to better understand how alternative approaches to decarbonization manage trade-offs between environmental, economic, and social objectives.
Prior to coming Stanford, William worked at the University of Ottawa's Smart Prosperity Institute (Canada) a research institute focused on improving public policy for environmental and economic outcomes. He also worked with United Nations Environment in the Economy and Trade Branch to support emerging economies seeking to integrate sustainability into their national development strategies. William holds a Masters of Environment from Griffith University in Australia and a BA from the University of Western Ontario in Canada, where he also played varsity football. -

Aadit Shah
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Bioengineering / Immunology, expected graduation Spring 2026
BioAadit is an MD candidate at Stanford with a BS in Biomedical Engineering from Washington University and an MPhil in Bioscience Enterprise from the University of Cambridge. While completing these degrees, he conducted 4 years of immunology/infectious diseases research as well as led the development of a medical device through to acquisition. While at Cambridge and Stanford, he gained exposure to operating and investing experience in therapeutics (particularly immuno-oncology and genetic medicines) with prior work spanning Flagship Pioneering, Tessera Therapeutics, and 5AM Ventures. As an advocate for the larger student innovation community, Aadit oversaw the national network of biomedical incubators: Sling Health. As National Network President, he supported more than 1000 students across 15 institutions and reported outcomes twice in Nature Biotechnology.

Kiarash Shamardani
Ph.D. Student in Cancer Biology, admitted Summer 2019
ADVANCE Program Leader, School of Medicine - Grad Student SupportCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsInterested in a systems neuroscience approach to understanding the interaction of tumor cells and their microenvironment in brain cancer. I am studying the neuron-glioma interactions at the circuit level to discern how patterns of activity within a neuron-glioma network influences the behavior of the cancer as a whole.

Benjamin Shapero
Ph.D. Student in Earth System Science, admitted Autumn 2020
BioI am a geomicrobiologist and am broadly interested in the connections between protein biochemistry, environmental microbiology, and biogeochemistry. I hail from the surf town of Encinitas near San Diego. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Southern California (USC), where I majored in both Biological Sciences and Classical Saxophone Performance. At USC I volunteered in a cellular and molecular neuroscience lab, and it was there that I discovered my fascination with proteins. After graduation, I worked in a vaccine design lab at Scripps Research. This research fostered my growing fascination with protein biochemistry and further exposed me to the realm of microbiology. I have since followed my interests in proteins and microbiology, along with my longstanding passion for climate science, to the field of geomicrobiology. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in geomicrobiology at Stanford University in the Earth System Science department.

Meghan Marjorie Shea
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources, admitted Autumn 2019
Research Assistant for Prof. Margaret Cohen, EnglishBioMeghan is a PhD student in the Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment & Resources, working to advance tools and methods for using environmental DNA (eDNA) to characterize marine biodiversity. Her work, at the intersection of biological oceanography and science & technology studies, seeks to center the human context of eDNA monitoring; she hopes to research both new scientific applications of eDNA as well as how stakeholders--from scientists to the general public--think about and engage with these applications.
Beyond her research, Meghan is a campus liaison for the Monterey Area Research Institutions' Network for Education (MARINE), co-founder of Stanford Ocean Networking And Research (SONAR), and co-organizer of the Stanford STS Graduate Workshop. She is also committed to teaching and mentoring the next generation of environmental scholars. In her free time, Meghan plays steel pan and accumulates house plants.
