Angelo Dragone
Associate Professor of Photon Science and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering
BioAngelo Dragone is an Associate Professor of Photon Science and Electrical Engineering (by courtesy). He has over 20 years of experience in the research and development of Instrumentation for Scientific experiments. He received his Ph.D. in Microelectronics from the Polytechnic University of Bari, Italy, for his research on mixed-signal readout architecture for radiation detectors, conducted at Brookhaven National Laboratory. He worked in the Instrumentation Division at Brookhaven National Laboratory from 2004, before joining SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in 2008. Over the past 15 years, he has been designing radiation detectors, with a focus on innovative architectural solutions for state-of-the-art scientific instruments and sensor interfaces. These solutions have applications in photon science, particle physics, medical imaging, and national security. At SLAC, he focused his research on designing high frame rate, large dynamic range X-ray detectors for the Linac Coherent Light Source SLAC X-ray Free-electron Laser facility. Since 2012, he has held a management position as head of the Integrated Circuits Department within the Instrumentation Division of the Technology Innovation Directorate (TID) at SLAC. During the past three years, Dr. Dragone has been working on the strategic R&D planning for the SLAC X-ray detectors Initiative and leads, as Program Director, TID Detector R&D, and the applied Microelectronics program. Recently, he has been appointed as Deputy Associate Lab Director for TID strategy. His current research interests are on ultra-fast X-ray detector architectures for X-ray Free-Electron Lasers applications and developing efficient, scalable systems with "smart" real-time processing capabilities. More broadly, he is interested in understanding the fundamental performance limits of radiation detection systems.

Provost, Emerita, James and Anna Marie Spilker Professor, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and of Physics
BioPersis Drell is the James and Anna Marie Spilker Professor in the School of Engineering, a professor of materials science and engineering, and a professor of physics. From Feb 1, 2017 to Sept. 30, 2023, Drell was the provost of Stanford University.
Prior to her appointment as provost in February 2017, she was dean of the Stanford School of Engineering from 2014 to 2017 and director of U.S. Department of Energy SLAC National Acceleratory Laboratory from 2007 to 2012.
She earned her bachelor’s degree in mathematics and physics from Wellesley College and her PhD in atomic physics from UC Berkeley. Before joining the faculty at Stanford in 2002, she was a faculty member in the physics department at Cornell University for 14 years. -
Leora Dresselhaus-Marais
Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, of Photon Science and, by courtesy, of Mechanical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy group develops new methods to update old processes in metals manufacturing

Juliana 'Julie' Dresvina
Overseas Studies - Oxford, Bing Overseas Studies
BioI am a medievalist and cultural historian; my work combines history, literary criticism, art history, and psychology. One of my current research projects explores how people use self-narratives — creative, devotional, or non-fiction — as a form of therapeutic practice. I am also interested in how human-shaped spaces of spiritual significance, along with religious material objects, function therapeutically: from devotional manuscripts and misericord carvings to rock sanctuaries, holy wells, and thermal springs.
I have published monographs with Oxford University Press and Brill, and I teach interdisciplinary courses on cultural history, literature, psychology, and art, as well as do study skills mentoring. -
Taran Driver
Lead Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioI gained my PhD from the Blackett Laboratory Laser Consortium at Imperial College London, where my primary research project was the development of a new type of mass spectrometry for the structural analysis of protein, DNA and RNA molecules. This technology is known as two-dimensional partial-covariance mass spectrometry (2D PC MS). Here at Stanford I work at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), using the attosecond X-ray pulses produced by the newly developed XLEAP mode to study ultrafast electronic processes in molecules. We are developing and using new spectroscopic methods in the attosecond regime to observe the motion of electrons in complex molecular systems on their natural timescale. This helps us to understand how the coherent quantum dynamics of these electronic systems affect subsequent chemical motion.

Ron Dror
Cheriton Family Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Structural Biology and of Molecular & Cellular Physiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy lab’s research focuses on computational biology, with an emphasis on 3D molecular structure. We combine two approaches: (1) Bottom-up: given the basic physics governing atomic interactions, use simulations to predict molecular behavior; (2) Top-down: given experimental data, use machine learning to predict molecular structures and properties. We collaborate closely with experimentalists and apply our methods to the discovery of safer, more effective drugs.

David Drover
Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (MSD), Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsField of clinical pharmacology. This involves analysis of what the body does to a drug (pharmacokinetics) and how exactly a specific drug affects the body (pharmacodynamics). His research starts at the level of new drug development with detailed analysis of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a medication.

Shaul Druckmann
Associate Professor of Neurobiology, of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research goal is to understand how dynamics in neuronal circuits relate and constrain the representation of information and computations upon it. We adopt three synergistic strategies: First, we analyze neural circuit population recordings to better understand the relation between neural dynamics and behavior, Second, we theoretically explore the types of dynamics that could be associated with particular network computations. Third, we analyze the structural properties of neural circuits.
