Christine Yiwen Yeh
MD Student, expected graduation Spring 2027
Ph.D. Student in Biomedical Data Science, admitted Autumn 2020
MSTP StudentBioChristine Yeh is an aspiring physician-scientist with academic training and industry experience in translational bioinformatics and data science. Christine is currently completing her final year of the Stanford Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP). She is interested in advancing cancer care through the integration of clinical oncology, computational cancer biology, and translational research, with the goal of developing more precise and effective therapies.
In June 2025, she completed her PhD in Biomedical Data Science. In her doctoral work she developed novel un-/self-supervised machine learning/artificial intelligence (ML/AI) methods grounded in algorithmic fairness; applied to single-cell spatial transcriptomics and CRISPR-based functional genomics, her work identified mechanisms of immune evasion and therapeutic vulnerabilities in tubo-ovarian cancer.
Prior to MSTP training, Christine was a computational structural biologist and drug discovery scientist at D. E. Shaw Research in New York City. There, she built ML/AI algorithms for investigating protein structural dynamics and worked on several early drug discovery programs for diabetes and immuno-oncology indications. Christine’s drug target panel included non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases encoded by PTPN1 and PTPN11. Her work led to peer-reviewed publications and a novel small molecule therapeutic that advanced to early phase clinical trials. -
Bill Yen
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2023
Student Assistant, Electrical EngineeringBioBill Yen is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University working in the area of low-power Internet of Things (IoT) systems. He is an interdisciplinary maker and environmental scientist passionate about solving issues related to food, water, and energy using smart technologies.
Yen's experience in industry (General Motors, CNH Industrial) and academic research (Northwestern - soil-powered computing, Stanford - low-power wireless communication) cultivated his interest in designing self-powered computing devices that boost system efficiency while lowering the environmental impact of existing processes. His work has been featured by The Independent, Fast Company, MIT Technology Review China, Hackster.io, and more. He is also a recipient of the Stanford Graduate Fellowship in Science & Engineering. -
Jeongwoong Yoon (Yoon)
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2023
BioMy previous research focused on the development of toolkit for marine bivalve cell culture and transgene expression. Inspired by the experience, I am seeking to find efficient and universally applicable methods to study non-model organisms that lack research infrastructure. As a biologist, I am exploring how we can rewrite genetic code to understand and engineer multicellular body plan, harnessing synthetic biology and genomics tools.

Ao Yu
Ph.D. Student in Earth System Science, admitted Autumn 2023
Masters Student in Earth System Science, admitted Autumn 2026BioAo Yu is a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in Stanford University’s Department of Earth System Science. Working with Professor Giulio De Leo, she studies how anthropogenic disturbances, including climate change, pollution, and land-use change, affect the transmission of parasitic diseases.
Her current research focuses on schistosomiasis and Lyme disease. She combines laboratory experiments and fieldwork with geospatial analysis and mathematical and statistical modeling to investigate the ecological drivers of disease transmission. She also aims to translate these findings into practical, ecologically informed solutions for disease prevention and control.
Ao earned an M.P.H. in Environmental Health Sciences from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2023. She graduated with honors from Purdue University in 2021 with a B.S. in Biological Sciences and a minor in Chemistry. -

Anisa Yudawanti
Ph.D. Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2023
Research Assistant-2, Artiles Program
Research Assistant, Stanford Accelerator for LearningBioa-nee-sa yoo-da-wan-tee
she/her/hers
Anisa Yudawanti (she/her) is a PhD Candidate in Race, Inequality, and Language in Education in the Graduate School of Education. She comes to Stanford by way of the Midwest and West Sumatra, Indonesia.
Drawing on her experience as a community-based youth worker and high school social studies teacher, Anisa's research moves us to consider what studies of space and movement can bring to bear on our understanding of schools. Her scholarship sits at the intersections of education studies, Black and critical geographies, and abolition and carceral studies. Her current study examines schools as sites of enclosure and how racially marked youth navigate school space through the lens of escape and fugitivity. She situates her inquiry in the Midwest and the Bay Area. -
