Areeq Hasan
Ph.D. Student in Applied Physics, admitted Autumn 2024
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsInterested in the fundamental physics of strongly-correlated quantum many-body systems and creating new ways to control their dynamics. Intending to use the experimental platform of ultracold atoms to explore how nature invokes entanglement in the physics of many-body systems and build new ways to control the coherent quantum dynamics of strongly-correlated systems towards the end of quantum information processing.

Rhana Hashemi
Ph.D. Student in Psychology, admitted Autumn 2022
BioRhana Hashemi is a Ph.D. student in Social Psychology conducting social-belonging and stereotype threat research with Dr. Greg Walton. She is focused on improving the lives of students who use drugs by understanding and repairing the relationship they form with their schools and authority figures. Rhana hopes to design interventions that promote connection and reduce bias, as alternatives to school suspension. She holds a M.S in Community Health Prevention Research from Stanford School of Medicine and a B.A in Social Welfare with honors from UC Berkeley. Previous research has focused on cognitive dissonance theory, prevention messaging, social media, and adolescent substance use.

Karolina Hasiec
Masters Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2025
BioKarolina’s research at King’s College London focused on neuroimaging and on how analytical methods can be tailored to the unique characteristics of different imaging tools. At Stanford, she is supporting research that investigates whether myelin plasticity can serve as a tractable therapeutic target to slow the progression of SYNGAP1-related intellectual disability - a rare neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by severe, intractable epilepsy, significant cognitive impairment, and recognized as one of the leading genetic causes of autism. Through this work, she contributes to advancing understanding of how maladaptive myelination may underlie disease progression and to exploring new strategies for therapeutic intervention.
