Anas Alharbi
Masters Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Autumn 2025
BioI’m a graduate international student in the Civil and Environmental Engineering (Atmosphere/Energy) program at Stanford University, with a background in Chemical Engineering. My interests sit at the intersection of sustainability, energy systems, and data-driven decision-making.
In my professional career, I have managed projects that required both technical depth and business judgment. My work often involves data analysis to evaluate projects from technical and financial perspectives and turn results into clear recommendations for decision-makers.
I also hold an MBA and I’m a CFA Charterholder. I’m especially interested in decarbonization strategy, environmental performance, and energy/climate finance.
Outside of class, I enjoy all kinds of physical activities, even though I’m still a beginner. -
Faith Aloboudi
Ph.D. Student in Neurosciences, admitted Autumn 2024
BioI am a second-year Ph.D. Neurosciences IDP Student co-mentored by Dr. Anish Mitra and Dr. Lisa Giocomo elucidating cognitive function in mesoscale cortical networks. I’m also interested in how biopsychosocial factors, like social determinants of health, impact neuropsychiatric disorders.

Noor Amr
Ph.D. Student in Anthropology, admitted Autumn 2019
BioNoor Amr is a PhD candidate in Anthropology at Stanford University. She is currently writing her dissertation on the “church asylum” (Kirchenasyl) movement in Germany, paying attention to the relationship between sanctuary, religious difference, borders/migration, sovereignty, and political belonging. Her ethnographic research among churches and monasteries across Germany explores how Kirchenasyl—sanctuary from the state—becomes a means through which rejected asylum-seekers gain legibility as subjects worthy of legal recognition. Her broader theoretical interests include theories in political theology, religion/secularism, sanctuary and hospitality, histories of confinement, and the coloniality of asylum.
Prior to her doctoral work, Noor received a B.A. in Politics from Willamette University and an M.T.S. in Philosophy of Religion from Harvard Divinity School, where she was a Dean’s Fellow. -
Owen Anderson
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Summer 2026
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsSoft implantable ultrasonic interfaces for brain stimulation and recording.

Leni Aniva
Ph.D. Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2022
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy main research interest is Machine-Assisted Theorem Proving, which refers to using machine-learning agents to find proofs of mathematical theorems and conduct reasoning. We are pursuing a hybrid algorithm between neural networks and SMT solvers to solve some of the long standing problems facing machine learning models today such as opaqueness, hallucinations, and information leakage. I also do research on SMT solvers and automatic verifications of programs.

Gustavo A. Araujo R.
Ph.D. Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Winter 2023
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsSeismic hazard and risk analysis.
Nonlinear finite-element modeling of civil structures.
Reinforced concrete wall buildings and moment-resisting frames.
Hybrid mass timber-steel systems. -
Bella Archibald
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2021
BioBella works in Professor Jennifer Brophy’s lab, and her research focuses on developing new tools to precisely engineer plants and plant root development. She hopes to create plants that are more drought tolerant and climate resilient, as well as plants with optimized root structures for enhanced bioremediation and resource recovery.
Outside of the lab, Bella loves skiing, hiking, and dancing, and her favorite flower is the Arrowleaf Balsamroot.
