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.

Naoki Konno
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
BioNaoki has extensive training in evolutionary biology and bioinformatics, and he thrives in interdisciplinary environments bridging computation and developmental biology. After earning his BSc. and MSc. in Systems Biology and Bioinformatics at the University of Tokyo, Naoki pursued a PhD in Evolutionary Biology under the supervision by Prof. Chikara Furusawa. He has developed computational frameworks to reconstruct and predict evolutionary processes, including large-scale phylogenetic inference for both evolution and cell lineage tracing (FRACTAL) and predictive models of microbial genome evolution (Evodictor). His work revealed generalizable rules of genome evolution and was recognized with multiple awards, including the JSPS Ikushi Prize.
Currently, Naoki is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the lab of Prof. Xiaojie Qiu at Stanford University School of Medicine. In his postdoctoral research, he investigates the evolutionary constraints of vertebrate development with a focus on the heart as a model system. By integrating single-cell and spatial transcriptomics with predictive modeling and CRISPR-based perturbations, he seeks to uncover how evolutionary principles shape developmental trajectories and contribute to congenital heart defects. Ultimately, Naoki aims to establish a broad research program in evolution-aware medicine, connecting evolutionary theory with biomedical challenges. -

Dr. Koo diagnoses and treats a wide range of eye conditions, such as blepharitis, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, farsightedness, cataracts, and glaucoma. She performs a range of surgical procedures, including cataract surgery, chalazia excisions, and laser glaucoma surgery. Dr. Koo creates a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan for each of her patients.
In addition to her clinical responsibilities, Dr. Koo is involved in the education and oversight of medical students, interns, and Ophthalmology residents spanning all settings from the classroom to the clinic, operating room, and the hospital.
Dr. Koo researches best practices in ophthalmologic care. Her research has included case studies to evaluate treatments in adults and children.
Dr. Koo’s work has been published in peer-reviewed journals, including Retina and the Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus. She has been invited to moderate and present at regional, national, and international meetings, including the World Ophthalmology Congress. -
Euna Koo, MD
Clinical Associate Professor, Ophthalmology
Clinical Assistant Professor (By courtesy), PediatricsBioDr. Koo is an ophthalmologist specializing in pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus. She received her ophthalmology training at UC San Francisco and then her fellowship training in pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus at Boston Children's Hospital affiliated with Harvard Medical School. She has been board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology since 2016. Her practice reflects her clinical interests in pediatric ophthalmology and in adult strabismus.
She utilizes Botox in management of adult and pediatric strabismus. She also uses hidden adjustable sutures in children and adults to optimize alignment of eyes with surgery. Muscles can be adjusted up to 7-10 days after surgery.
She is active in training both residents and fellows in ophthalmology. -
Kimia Koochakzadeh-Yazdi
Doctor of Musical Arts Student, Musical Arts
CCRMA Student Assistant, MusicBioKimia Koochakzadeh-Yazdi is an Iranian composer and performer. She writes for hybrid instrumental/electronic ensembles, creates electroacoustic and audiovisual works, builds instruments, and performs electronic music. She explores the unfamiliar familiar while being motivated by how melodies unfold through time; finding ways to play with various musical thresholds and exploring musical extremes is something that she is currently attracted to. Her work experiments with merging Iranian music with the more contemporary classical music aesthetics.
Being a cross-disciplinary artist, she has actively collaborated on projects evolving around dance, film, and theater. She is the co-founder and producer of Fashion x Electronics, a collective focused on creating interdisciplinary works based on fashion and electronic music.
Kimia’s work has been showcased by organizations across the globe and her work has been performed internationally at festivals including Ars Electronica, Festival Ecos Urbanos, Tehran Contemporary Sounds, Sonic Matter Festival, New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, Sound and Music Conference, and Modulus Festival, among others.
She holds a BFA in Music Composition from Simon Fraser University’s Interdisciplinary School for the Contemporary Arts. Kimia is currently based in San Francisco and is a doctorate candidate in Music Composition at Stanford University. -
