Duncan Eddy
Research Engineer, Program-Kochenderfer, M.
BioDuncan Eddy is a research fellow in the Stanford University Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He completed his PhD in Aerospace Engineering from Stanford, funded by the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship. His current research is focused on decision-making in safety-critical, climate, and space systems, where operational decisions must be made quickly and correctly in complex environments while still being explainable and understandable by human stakeholders.
He is currently the Executive Director of the Stanford Center for AI Safety, and a post-doctoral researcher with appointments in Mineral-X and the Stanford Intelligent Systems Laboratory (SISL).
Prior to this, He started and led the Spacecraft Operations Group at Capella Space, the first US Commercial Synthetic Aperture Radar Earth Imaging constellation. There he developed the first fully-automated mission operations system, realizing lights-out tasking-to-delivery of radar satellite data for a commercial constellation. He subsequently started and led the Constellation Operations and Space Safety Groups at Project Kuiper. Most recently, he was a Principal Applied Scientist at Amazon Web Services, where he worked on building software services for large-scale distributed edge compute applications. -

Eve Edelstein
Adjunct Professor, Pediatric Anesthesiology
BioDr. Edelstein’s research and practice focus on the measurable impact of the built environment on human performance, health, wellbeing. Eve’s ongoing collaboration with a national quality improvement study explores the impact of noise in operating rooms with Stanford, Harvard, Vanderbilt, Pennsylvania, and other members of SPA.
Eve's recent work with Google and the International WELL Building Institute, explores how the built environment can support the unique abilities of providers and the people they serve to enhance performance and outcomes.
Dr. Edelstein's clinical service and doctoral research at University College London and the National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery, and at the Harvard MIT hearing sciences lab developed and used electrophysiological techniques to show the brain’s efferent control of cochlear function. Eve's degrees in in Anthropology (University California Berkeley), and Master of Architecture offer a unique background for her contributions as a Board member of the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture, the AIA College of Fellows Latrobe Prize on circadian design, the Berkeley Teaching Prize on Neuro-Universal Design, and the Calit2 Strategic Opportunities Award for Virtual Visual and Acoustic hospital design for the University of California San Diego.
Dr. Edelstein co-founded Clinicians for Design and Neuro-Architecture, and contributed to award-winning hospital designs, including master planning through architectural and interior solutions for top-tier academic and medical centers, educational facilities, and building projects in the US, Canada, UK, and China. -
Asiri Ediriwickrema MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Hematology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study hematopoiesis which is the complex process of producing blood cells that are essential for maintaining our basic health and well being. Our mission is to learn how these individual cells change as people age and develop cancer. Blood cell production is driven by the hematopoietic stem cell which gives rise to an incredible diversity of cells throughout life. Our research focuses on how dysregulation of this process leads to cytopenias and hematologic malignancies. We have expertise that spans clinical medicine, functional hematology, molecular and cellular biology, genomics, bioinformatics, and machine learning. By integrating advanced experimental and computational methods, we are examining blood cell development and function at single-cell resolution to advance patient diagnostics and treatment.

Adjunct Professor, Medicine - Cardiovascular MedicineBioAdjunct Professor of Medicine | Cardiovascular Medicine | Stanford Medicine
Seasoned clinician with a proven track record of mentoring medtech entrepreneurs and early stage companies in the development of life changing technologies. As the Associate Director of the PAMF Hospital Medicine service line he co-leads a team of 30 physicians across 3 community hospitals in the Bay Area. When not seeing patients, he serves as the Chief Medical Officer at Fogarty Innovation where he mentors a variety of early stage companies. As an Adjunct Professor of Medicine at Stanford he works closely with the Biodesign group to teach and mentor students and Biodesign fellows. He co-teaches the Biodesign Innovation graduate course which is offered to Stanford graduate students in the school of medicine, school of engineering and the graduate school of business each winter and spring quarter. Zach holds an MD from the UCLA School of Medicine and an MBA from the UCLA Anderson School of Management. He completed Internal Medicine Residency and the Biodesign Fellowship at Stanford University. -
Christopher Edwards
Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Emeritus
BioThe Edwards research group is focused on fundamental research for advanced energy technologies. The group performs theoretical and experimental studies of energy transformations such that the conversion process can be made cleaner, more efficient, and more controllable than has been possible with traditional technologies. Applications include advanced transportation engines (piston and turbine) and advanced electric power generation with carbon mitigation.

Glynn Edwards
Associate Director, Archival and Manuscript Processing, Special Collections
Current Role at StanfordGlynn is the Assistant Director in the Department of Special Collections & University Archives is primarily in charge of the Collection Services Division and the libraries' Born- and Acquired-Digital Programs. She also collaborates with other managers to develop new programs and directions within the department.
Collection Services staff work collaboratively with over 20 subject specialists and curators throughout the library; we take in over 350 collections each year, totaling between 1,800 and 3,500 linear feet (this is equivalent to 2.5-6 million documents) a year. Our focus is on collection management as well as discovery and access including: acquisitions, cataloging and processing of incoming material in any format - from rare books and papyrus fragments to artifacts and computer media. We also manage all digitization projects and descriptive metadata for special collections materials in conjunction with subject specialists and the digital library group.
The departments' Born-Digital Program collaborates with Digital Libraries Systems and Services as well as the libraries' Metadata Development Unit. The department of Special Collections also directs the ePADD Project - developing software to acquire, process and deliver email archives in our collections. A new release of ePADD software (Version 5.0) came out in winter 2018. -

Charles (Chuck) Eesley
Professor of Management Science and Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI study how institutions shape technology-based entrepreneurship. My research identifies the institutional environments that encourage the founding of high-growth, engineering-driven firms, and shows that effective institutional change influences who starts firms and whether they succeed — not just how many firms are started. My recent work extends this agenda to AI: how AI systems function as new institutional actors shaping entrepreneurial opportunity, and how AI can be used as a research tool

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.
