BioRobert is a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering, co-advised by Jonathan Fan and Ivan Soltesz. His research is generously supported by the Knight-Hennessy Scholars program.
Robert's work has been focused on pushing the boundaries of optical engineering and neuroscience through innovations in machine learning and applied physics. Most recently, he developed agentic reasoning frameworks that leverage a new class of ultra-fast and general Maxwell surrogate solvers to power the automated design of multi-objective, multi-wavelength metasurfaces in near real-time (as opposed to weeks of manual specialized design work). -

Courtney MacPhee
Ph.D. Student in History, admitted Autumn 2020
BioI am a 4th year PhD candidate in History under the guidance of David Como. I focus on religious and cultural history of early modern Britain and am particularly interested in ideas of apocalypticism, millenarianism in the English Civil Wars and Revolution, radical sectarian notions of empire, and, more broadly, the messy dynamics between power and resistance in the seventeenth century.
Prior to my time here at Stanford, I received my MA in History with a concentration in Museum Studies from Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, CA under the guidance of Lori Anne Ferrell. My master's thesis is titled "I will write of Cornwall, Cornhell in the West": Prophecy, Itinerancy, and Anna Trapnel's Struggle with Cromwellian Authorities.
