Yusong Liu
Staff Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioI am a Staff Scientist in the LCLS Chemical Sciences Department at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. My research focuses on the excited-state dynamics of small organic molecules, with a particular emphasis on employing novel experimental techniques to probe these processes in real time and space.
Because these dynamics typically occur on attosecond to picosecond timescales, the strongly coupled electronic and nuclear motions drive ultrafast energy redistribution and structural transformations, processes that underpin fundamental phenomena across physics, chemistry, and biology.
Building on my extensive background in ultrafast laser science and time-resolved spectroscopy, my current work involves developing multi-modal experiments that integrate spectroscopy and diffraction. My toolkit includes time-resolved valence and soft X-ray core-ionization spectroscopy, as well as ultrafast electron and hard X-ray diffraction. These studies are conducted primarily at the LCLS X-ray FEL, the MeV-UED facility at SLAC, and our tabletop laser laboratories at the Stanford PULSE Institute. -

Nathan Lo
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Infectious Diseases) and, by courtesy, of Epidemiology and Population Health
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research group is interested in studying the transmission of infectious diseases and impact of public health interventions with an ultimate goal of informing public health policy. We study a diverse set of pathogens, both domestically and internationally, including vaccine-preventable infections (including COVID-19) and neglected parasitic diseases (such as schistosomiasis). Our group applies diverse computational methodologies, including tools from fields of epidemiology, mathematical and statistical modeling, simulation, and policy analysis.
A large emphasis of our work is translating scientific evidence into public health policy. Our track record includes multiple studies that have changed policy in the fields of neglected parasitic diseases and COVID-19. We work closely with policy organizations like the World Health Organization and the California Department of Public Health. Nathan was the lead writer of the World Health Organization guidelines on schistosomiasis (2022) and strongyloidiasis (2024).
Our current research focuses on the following areas:
(1) Vaccine-preventable infectious diseases (including measles and COVID-19) in the United States, with a focus on studying vaccines, transmission dynamics, and re-emergence of vaccine-eliminated diseases (emphasis on measles)
(2) Public health strategies for control and elimination of globally important neglected infectious diseases, such as helminths infections (schistosomiasis, strongyloidiasis) and typhoid fever
Our current NIH funded projects include:
(1) Real-time predictive modeling for public health departments to control infectious diseases (DP2 AI170485, PI: Lo)
(2) Precision mapping of Schistosoma mansoni risk for targeted public health control and elimination (R01 AI179771, PI: Lo)
Hiring
We are seeking to fill multiple research positions at all levels. Candidates interested in working on computational public health research related to infectious diseases with a strong quantitative background are highly encouraged to apply. If you an interested, please submit a cover letter, CV, and names of two references to Nathan.Lo@stanford.edu. -
