Devin Dollery
Ph.D. Student in Oceans, admitted Autumn 2023
Masters Student in Oceans, admitted Autumn 2024BioI am interested in computational simulations of the natural world - focusing on developing models of ocean physics to predict the ocean's role in climate variability. At Stanford, my PhD research commencing in Autumn 2023 with Prof Fringer seeks to model and understand the interaction of surface and internal waves. This relationship will be correlated to satellite imagery of ocean surface roughness to infer stratification for assimilation into ocean models.
My professional background started in civil engineering and coastal processes modeling. I received an MSc in computational mechanics at the University of Cape Town (2018) - formulating and implementing a multiscale FEM model for cardiac tissue. Most recently, I was a scientific software developer adding parallelized tools and functionality to the ocean modeling software, UCLA ROMS, at the University of California, Los Angeles. -
Changxin Lyla Dong
Ph.D. Student in Materials Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2022
BioLyla Dong is committed to advancing innovative materials solutions that address critical challenges in health and environmental sustainability. As a PhD candidate at Stanford University advised by Professor Eric A. Appel (MSE) and co-advised by Professor Grace Gao (AA), she focuses on creating novel material solutions to protect against wildfires and improve therapeutic delivery systems.
Prior to her studies at Stanford, Lyla conducted research under the mentorship of Professors Pulickel M. Ajayan and Haotian Wang at Rice University. She developed functional materials for batteries and explored technologies for carbon capture, discovering her passion for sustainable materials science.
Through her interdisciplinary approach, Lyla strives to bridge the critical intersections between health and environmental sustainability, creating solutions that have a real-world impact.
