Victoria Dinov
Masters Student in Energy Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2025
BioHi, my name is Vicky and I am a graduate student at Stanford studying energy science and engineering. At Stanford, I worked in the INES research group, focused primarily on creating a capacity expansion model with improved spatial, temporal, and geographical resolution.
I am passionate about capacity expansion and transmission planning, power markets, utility rate structure, load forecasting, microgrids and more. I am also curious to explore the ways in which we will harness DERs and technological tools at our fingertips to create more resilient communities and energy systems. This can have broad implications for developing regions and more generally energy scarce areas.
Outside of school, you will find me running, climbing, backpacking, skiing, etc. I like everything outdoors, have an affinity for art/music, and love to salsa too. Please message me with questions or just to connect! -

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. -
Erinn Drage
Ph.D. Student in Environmental Social Sciences, admitted Autumn 2025
BioErinn Drage is an environmental filmmaker, conservation social scientist, and outdoor adventure guide from Canmore, Alberta. In addition to her primary work in international conservation policy, she has guided expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctica and written, edited, and directed award-winning documentary films. Her past scientific research has included studying nature-based tourism economies in Alaska and social well-being, human rights, and conservation in Kanungu, Uganda. At Stanford, Erinn is exploring the political and economic dimensions of biodiversity conservation, with a focus on community-led stewardship and the role of human institutions in shaping conservation outcomes. When not pursuing her intellectual passions around conservation, she can usually be found trail running, mountain biking, or backcountry skiing in the nearest mountain ranges.
