    BioMy work bridges developmental psychology, social psychology, and personality psychology, and examines the self-conceptions people use to structure the self and guide their behavior. My research looks at the origins of these self-conceptions, their role in motivation and self-regulation, and their impact on achievement and interpersonal processes.

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research is on race and inequality. I am especially interested in examining race and inequality in the criminal justice context. My most recent research focuses on how the association of African Americans with crime might matter at different points in the criminal justice system and how this association can affect us in surprising ways.

  • Asiri Ediriwickrema MD, PhD

    Asiri Ediriwickrema MD, PhD

    Assistant Professor of Medicine (Hematology)

    BioAsiri Ediriwickrema, MD, PhD, is a physician-scientist who leads a systems hematology laboratory at Stanford and directs a clinical practice focused on myelodysplastic neoplasms and clonal hematopoiesis. Asiri leads a research group that studies hematopoiesis—the complex process by which hematopoietic stem cells generate the diverse blood cells essential for health throughout life. We study how individual blood cells change during aging and cancer development, with particular focus on how dysregulation of this process leads to cytopenias and hematologic malignancies.

    Our work integrates expertise spanning clinical medicine, functional hematology, molecular and cellular biology, genomics, bioinformatics, and machine learning. By combining advanced experimental techniques with computational approaches, we examine blood cell development and function at single-cell resolution. We aim to identify early cellular changes in cancer development, map how stem cells interact within their tissue environments, and develop computational tools that predict stem cell behavior and disease progression. Our goal is to translate these efforts into improved diagnostics and precision therapeutic strategies for patients with blood disorders and malignancies.

    Dr. Ediriwickrema earned his undergraduate degree in Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, his MD (Cum Laude) from Yale University, and his PhD from Stanford University. He completed his residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Hematology at Stanford, where he also conducted his doctoral and postdoctoral research in the laboratory of Dr. Ravi Majeti. His research identified novel populations of multipotent progenitor cells in normal hematopoiesis and leukemia stem cells in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

  • Matthew R. Edwards

    Matthew R. Edwards

    Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering

    BioMatthew Edwards is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering. His research applies high-power lasers to the development of optical diagnostics for fluids and plasmas, the study of intense light-matter interactions, and the construction of compact light and particle sources, combining adaptive high-repetition-rate experiments and large-scale simulations to explore new regimes in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, and plasma physics.

    Matthew received BSE, MA, and PhD degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University. He was then a Lawrence Fellow in the National Ignition Facility and Photon Science Directorate at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

  • Elizabeth Egan

    Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Infectious Diseases) and of Microbiology and Immunology

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMalaria is a parasitic disease transmitted by mosquitos that is a leading cause of childhood mortality globally. Public health efforts to control malaria have historically been hampered by the rapid development of drug resistance. The goal of our research is to understand the molecular determinants of critical host-pathogen interactions in malaria, with a focus on the erythrocyte host cell. Our long-term goal is to develop novel approaches to prevent or treat malaria and improve child health.
