Lisa Larrimore Ouellette
Deane F. Johnson Professor of Law and Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research
BioLisa Larrimore Ouellette is the Deane F. Johnson Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and a Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. Her research focuses on intellectual property law and innovation policy. She leverages her training in physics to explore policy issues such as how scientific expertise might improve patent examination, the value of information disclosed in patents, patenting publicly funded research under the Bayh–Dole Act, equity in patent inventorship, and the integration of IP with other levers of innovation policy. She has applied these ideas to biomedical innovation challenges including the opioid epidemic, COVID-19, vaccines, and pharmaceutical prices. She has also written about doctrinal puzzles in patent and trademark law, the effect of AI on patent practice, and the potential for different standards of review to create “deference mistakes” in numerous areas of law.
Professor Ouellette is an acclaimed teacher and nationally recognized intellectual property law expert. She coauthored a free patent law casebook, Patent Law: Cases, Problems, and Materials, which has been adopted at over 70 law schools, and she has designed and led pedagogy training for other Stanford Law faculty. In 2018, she received Stanford’s John Bingham Hurlbut Award for Excellence in Teaching. Her commentary has appeared in publications including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, TIME Magazine, and Slate. She was also appointed to a committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to recommend strategies for better aligning medical innovation with disease burden and unmet needs.
Prior to her appointment at Stanford Law School in 2014, Professor Ouellette was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Information Society Project at Yale Law School. She clerked for Judge Timothy B. Dyk of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and Judge John M. Walker, Jr. of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. She holds a J.D. from Yale Law School, where she was an Articles Editor of the Yale Law Journal. She earned a Ph.D. in physics from Cornell University and a B.A. in physics from Swarthmore College, and has conducted scientific research at the Max Planck Institute, CERN, and NIST. -
Nicholas Ouellette
Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Environmental Complexity Lab studies self-organization in a variety of complex systems, ranging from turbulent fluid flows to granular materials to collective motion in animal groups. In all cases, we aim to characterize the macroscopic behavior, understand its origin in the microscopic dynamics, and ultimately harness it for engineering applications. Most of our projects are experimental, though we also use numerical simulation and mathematical modeling when appropriate. We specialize in high-speed, detailed imaging and statistical analysis.
Our current research includes studies of turbulence in two and three dimensions, with a focus on coherent structures and the geometry of turbulence; the transport of inertial, anisotropic, and active particles in turbulence; the erosion of granular beds by fluid flows and subsequent sediment transport; quantitative measurements of collective behavior in insect swarms and bird flocks; the stability of ocean ecosystems; neural signal processing; and uncovering the natural, self-organized spatiotemporal scales in urban systems. -
John Ousterhout
Leonard Bosack and Sandy K. Lerner Professor of Engineering and Professor of Computer Science, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOusterhout's research ranges across a variety of topics in system software, software development tools, and user interfaces. His current research is in the area of granular computing: new software stack layers that allow the execution of large numbers of very small tasks (as short as a few microseconds) in a datacenter. Current projects are developing new techniques for thread management, network communication, and logging.
