Esteban Calvo
Director, Bing Overseas Studies
BioEsteban Calvo, PhD, MsPH is a global scholar and academic leader in longevity, health, and public policy whose work connects education and research to real-world impact. Trained as a sociologist and epidemiologist, he studies how social contexts across the life course shape health, wellbeing, and inequality, and how institutions can respond to demographic change through evidence-based policy and practice.
Over more than two decades, Dr. Calvo has designed and led interdisciplinary academic and research initiatives in Chile and the United States. He has served as Dean of a large and diverse faculty, founded interdisciplinary research centers integrating social and health sciences with gerontology, and built international partnerships linking universities, governments, and civil society. He has also held faculty appointments across schools of the social sciences, public health, and business, and advised public and private institutions across three continents on issues related to aging, health, social security, and strategy. Across these roles, his focus has been on strengthening institutions, improving decision-making, and creating learning environments that translate scholarship into institutional and public impact.
His research draws on large-scale longitudinal data from up to three million individuals across more than 160 countries and has informed public policy, institutional strategy, and legal decision-making. His work has been recognized by the American Public Health Association, the American Sociological Association, the Gerontological Society of America, and the Retirement Research Foundation.
As Director of the Bing Overseas Studies Program in Santiago, Dr. Calvo is committed to offering students a rigorous and immersive academic experience grounded in Chile’s social, cultural, and policy landscape. His leadership emphasizes experiential learning, cross-cultural understanding, and the translation of classroom knowledge into action, preparing students to engage complex social challenges with curiosity, responsibility, and a global perspective. -
Edric Camacho
Undergraduate, Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education
BioEdric Camacho is a transfer undergraduate student from Sierra College studying Electrical Engineering. Before Stanford and community college, Edric served in the US Navy for 6 years as a Machinist's Mate Nuclear (MMN) performing duties as an Engineering Laboratory Technician (ELT) onboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71). His duties during his time in the Navy ranged from sampling water chemistry of the reactor plant and secondary systems to managing all generated radioactive material onboard the ship.
After separation, Edric pursued education at Sierra College, and within a year, earned his Associate's Degree in Natural Sciences with a 4.00 GPA. Outside of coursework, Edric was an active member of the community, either tutoring students in math and chemistry to volunteering at his local library. Notable work at Sierra College include conducting a research project regarding relevant chemistry principles in the operation of nuclear reactors and organizing a nuclear reactor tour with the UC Davis TRIGA research reactor in Sacramento, CA.
During Summer 2026, Edric conducted research at Yale University under Professor Konrad Lehnert in the Department of Physics to support the quantum measurement chain utilized by his research group. More specifically, Edric developed a RF System-on-a-Chip configuration (RFSoC) to obtain S21 measurements out of the microwave superconducting circuits that the Lehnert Lab develops and tests via a combination of Python code, the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit (QICK), and by emulation of commercial vector network analyzer equipment. This is achieved by using the RFSoC's DAC as a signal generator and 2 ADCs as a dual-channel, simultaneous dual-readout scheme. This scheme was then validated by testing frequency-dependent attenuation behavior of filters of known values and comparing these values to the experimentally obtained values from the RFSoC VNA.
