Sabrina Nicacio
Masters Student in Aeronautics and Astronautics, admitted Autumn 2025
BioSabrina Nicacio is a Knight-Hennessy Scholar and graduate student in Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University, specializing in Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC). She earned her B.S.E. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University with a Minor in Robotics and Intelligent Systems.
Sabrina has delivered technical results across leading aerospace institutions—designing flight hardware for Starship launch operations at SpaceX, developing multi-robot navigation algorithms for NASA JPL’s CADRE lunar mission at Stanford, and improving heat treatment processes for 3D-printed turbine blades at MIT. Her senior thesis at Princeton introduced a fuel-optimal reconfiguration framework for satellite swarms, applying convex optimization to orbital dynamics.
Sabrina is focused on building scalable, autonomous systems for spacecraft coordination and precision navigation. Her work reflects a deep technical foundation and a drive to solve mission-critical challenges in spaceflight. -
Akira Nishii
Masters Student in Biomedical Data Science, admitted Autumn 2024
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI'm interested in the challenges that arise in healthcare and biomedicine when applying machine learning to data-scarce and safety-critical settings. This broad interest motivates me to work on topics surrounding self-supervised learning and synthetic data.

Frederick U Nitta
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2024
BioFrederick received his B.S. with EE and Chemistry from Stanford (2024), alongside a co-term in MSE (2024) at Stanford. He completed his EE honors thesis with Prof. Krishna Saraswat and Prof. Eric Pop on the efficiency limits of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) solar cells, receiving the Firestone Medal for Excellence in Undergraduate Research. He is now pursuing his Ph.D. in EE, on 3R-phase TMDs and their bulk photovoltaic effect, and on the physics and applications of transition metal oxides. He is co-advised by Prof. Eric Pop and Prof. Andrew Mannix.

Pablo Nuñez Martinez
Masters Student in Aeronautics and Astronautics, admitted Autumn 2025
BioPablo Nuñez Martínez is a first-year M.S. student in Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University. He earned his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Tecnológico de Monterrey, where he graduated with academic honors and founded ELYOS Racing Team, a student initiative dedicated to designing ultra-efficient vehicles. Under his leadership, ELYOS raised over $100,000 USD in sponsorships, placed 4th at the Shell Eco-marathon Americas in both 2024 and 2025, and achieved major aerodynamic and structural advances through CFD-driven optimization and composite lightweighting. He also contributed to McGill Formula Electric in Montréal, where he worked on aerodynamics and chassis design, developing composite monocoque concepts, CFD-based downforce devices, and optimization codes for laminate theory using genetic algorithms.
Pablo’s academic and research interests include aerodynamics, lightweight structures, advanced composite materials, and spacecraft systems. He is particularly interested in the development of next-generation aerospace vehicles that integrate aerodynamic efficiency, adaptability, and sustainability. His long-term goal is to contribute to the design of innovative space systems and sustainable technologies that push the boundaries of aerospace engineering.
