Varun Goyal, PhD
Postdoctoral Scholar, Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery
BioDr. Varun Goyal is a Postdoctoral Scholar in Otolaryngology at Stanford University, applying his expertise in nonlinear systems, biomechanics, acoustics, and vibrations to advance the understanding of hearing. He earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan, where he worked at the intersection of mechanics and biological systems to develop computational frameworks for mechanosensory transduction in mammalian ears, with a particular focus on inner-ear hair bundles.
His background spans structural and fluid dynamics, finite element analysis, and control systems, with a strong emphasis on applying these techniques to problems in ear physiology. Dr. Goyal also conducted research at the Center for Nondestructive Evaluation (CNDE) during his bachelor's and master’s studies at IIT Madras, where he designed multifunctional acoustic waveguides for ultrasonic energy transmission and temperature sensing.
He has led and contributed to high-impact R&D projects across leading academic institutions, including RWTH Aachen University in Germany, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and Nagaoka University of Technology in Japan, as well as industry partners such as Mondelez International and Plasma Giken Co., Ltd. in Japan. Driven by curiosity and a commitment to understanding how complex systems operate, Dr. Goyal's work integrates theory, computation, and experiment to address fundamental questions in auditory biomechanics. -
Clemens Graf von Luckner
Postdoctoral Scholar, Business
BioClemens Graf von Luckner is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford GSB's Global Capital Allocation Project, where his research investigates international capital flows, with a focus on sovereign debt and crypto assets. Prior to joining Stanford, he was a Doctoral Fellow at Harvard's Mossavar Rahmani Center for Business and Government.
Formerly an economist and advisor in the World Bank's Chief Economist Office under Carmen Reinhart, Clemens was involved when the World Bank and its client countries grappled with the COVID-19 pandemic and its macro-financial consequences.
Clemens completed his undergraduate studies at Sciences Po Paris, and also studied at the American University of Beirut. He holds graduate degrees in Economics and Finance from Sciences Po and Columbia University, and recently finished his PhD in economics at Sciences Po, with co-supervision from Harvard University.
