Shi-Xi Kong
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2026
BioShi-Xi Kong is an incoming EE PhD student at Stanford. His research interest lies in translating scientific insights into practical device technologies for logic, memory, and emerging computing paradigms.
Over the past three years, as a undergraduate research assistant at NYCU, he worked on emerging memory devices such as FTJ and STT-MRAM, focusing on their device physics and applications.
He is now studying trap-assisted tunneling and quantum transport at 2D contacts. -
Alexandra Konings
Associate Professor of Earth System Science, Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and, by courtesy, of Geophysics
BioAlexandra Konings leads the Remote Sensing Ecohydrology group, which studies interactions between the global carbon and water cycles. That is, her research studies how changes in hydrological conditions change ecosystems, and how this in turn feeds back to weather and climate. These interactions include studies of transpiration and root water uptake, photosynthesis, mortality, and fire processes, among others. To address these topics, the groups primarily uses the tools of model development and remote sensing (satellite) data, especially microwave remote sensing data of vegetation water content. Alex believes that a deep understanding of remote sensing techniques and how they can be used to create environmental datasets enables new opportunities for scientific insight and vice versa.
