Alireza Javadian Sabet
Affiliate, Stanford Digital Economy Lab (S-DEL)
BioAlireza Javadian Sabet is a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Chicago Knowledge Lab and a Digital Fellow at Stanford Digital Economy Lab. He earned a PhD in Information Science from the Resilient Economy Lab at the University of Pittsburgh, where his research focused on mapping career adaptability and understanding how skills and experience translate into changing sets of opportunities over time. He also holds a master’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Politecnico di Milano (PoliMi) and previously served as a research fellow at the Data Science Lab and the DEpendable Evolvable Pervasive Software Engineering group. His work has been discussed in policy and business outlets, including The Economist and the American Enterprise Institute.
Alireza studies how transformative AI reshapes labor markets and innovation systems, developing models and measures from large-scale datasets that link technological capabilities to changes in skills, mobility, and knowledge production. His work combines text and trajectory data to track skill formation in education, quantify how career opportunities expand or concentrate over time, and connect these dynamics to the movement of talent across organizations and borders. He is motivated by the broader challenge of assessing and predicting technology outcomes, including how advances diffuse through tasks and institutions, and how choices around funding, training, and governance influence who benefits from technological change. -

Hakeem Jefferson
Assistant Professor of Political Science
BioI am an assistant professor of political science at Stanford University where I am also a faculty affiliate with the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity and the Stanford Center for American Democracy. I received my PhD in political science from the University of Michigan and a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and African American Studies from the University of South Carolina.
My research focuses primarily on the role identity plays in structuring political attitudes and behaviors in the U.S. I am especially interested in understanding how stigma shapes the politics of Black Americans, particularly as it relates to group members’ support for racialized punitive social policies. In other research projects, I examine the psychological and social roots of the racial divide in Americans’ reactions to officer-involved shootings and work to evaluate the meaningfulness of key political concepts, like ideological identification, among Black Americans.
My dissertation, "Policing Norms: Punishment and the Politics of Respectability Among Black Americans," was a co-winner of the 2020 Best Dissertation Award from the Political Psychology Section of the American Political Science Association. -

Stefanie S. Jeffrey, MD
John and Marva Warnock Professor, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Jeffrey led the multidisciplinary team from the Schools of Medicine, Engineering, and Genome Technology Center that invented the MagSweeper, an automated device that immunomagnetically captures live circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from cancer patient blood for single cell analysis or culture. Her lab also works on microfluidic technologies for tumor cell capture, characterization, and growth - with the goal of defining individual patient response to newer biologically-based cancer therapies.
