Aditya Kothari
Masters Student in Aeronautics and Astronautics, admitted Autumn 2025
BioAditya is an MS Aero/Astro student at Stanford. He works at the intersection of flight sciences and controls and has a background in vehicle systems engineering, aerodynamics, propulsions, structures and new product development. He led his university UAV team as the Captain and spearheaded the development and testing of over seven award winning UAVs including eVTOLs, eSTOLs, eCTOLs and other projects. Many of his past projects involve industry collaboration like those with GKN Aerospace, AIRBUS, Honeywell Aerospace and Forbes Marshall. He was also associated with ASME-VIT as the Chief Editor for ASME Technical Blogs and a member of the AIAA and the Rotaract NGO.
Outside of work he likes to hike and loves to play badminton and other racquet sports. -
Ava Kouhana
Masters Student in Computational and Mathematical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2024
BioHi ! I am an ICME master's degree student at Stanford University, currently doing research in Professor Gordon Wetzstein’s lab.
Prior to Stanford, I dedicated six months conducting research at Harvard under the supervision of Dr. Mengyu Wang, focusing primarily on Computer Vision tasks like Image Segmentation and Vision-Language Models. Before joining ICME , I have had the opportunity to work for six months supervised by Stanford Professor Craig Levin, researching the application of Diffusion Models for image super-resolution.
My research interests primarily revolve around computer vision, RL, and generative AI, with a growing interest for video generation/ robotics. -
Emma Krasovich Southworth
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources, admitted Autumn 2022
BioResearch Interests:
planetary health | climate extremes | global change | environmental pollution and toxic exposures | disease ecology | environmental data science | causal inference
Emma is a PhD candidate in Environment and Resources at Stanford University’s Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources (E-IPER). She is co-advised by Marshall Burke (Global Environmental Policy) and Erin Mordecai (Biology) and is a Research Fellow in the Global Policy Lab (led by Solomon Hsiang). She is a Stanford Data Science Scholar, NSF Graduate Research Fellow, and Stanford Edge Fellow.
Emma's dissertation research is united by the question: how can we protect human health in the face of intensifying and extreme environmental change? We live in an era where humans are impacting and are impacted by their environment at an unprecedented scale. Natural disasters such as wildfires are growing in size and severity, while tropical cyclones are intensifying and leading to lasting damage. Her research aims to contribute to a body of evidence that measures how extreme climate events lead to environmental degradation, harmful exposures, and disease outcomes as a way to better prepare for and prevent future impacts.
Prior to starting her PhD, Emma worked as a Research Analyst at the Global Policy Lab at UC Berkeley (now at Stanford). During her time at GPL, she was part of a project that aimed to identify land-based sources of non-point source water pollution in national-scale river systems in New Zealand and the US Mississippi River Basin. Emma completed her MPH in global and environmental health science and global health at Columbia University and received a BA in behavioral neuroscience from Colgate University.
When she is not at her desk, you can find her outside - most likely running or hiking up a mountain. She also co-founded a trivia company called aeroTRIV and loves to host bespoke trivia nights to bring communities together.
