Dale Burns
Laboratory Manager Microanalysis Facility, Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability - Dean's Office
BioI am a staff research scientist and lecturer in the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. My primary responsibilities include managing both the day-to-day and long-term operations of the Stanford Microchemical Analysis Facility (MAF). I also have an active research program that includes projects in multiple scientific disciplines, and I teach multiple Stanford courses including courses at both the undergraduate- and graduate-levels.
In addition to my position at Stanford, I am the Treasurer of the Microanalysis Society, hold a courtesy faculty position at Oregon State University, and serve as a technical director for the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure program. -
Jennifer Burns
Edgar E. Robinson Professor of United States History and Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution
BioI am a historian of the twentieth century United States working at the intersection of intellectual, political, and cultural history, with a particular interest in ideas about the state, markets, and capitalism and how these play out in policy and politics.
My most recent book is Milton Friedman: The Last Conservative. This is the first full biography of the influential economist and political figure, and was awarded the 2026 Spengler Prize for the book by the Society for the History of Economics, the 2025 Reagan Book Prize, and was a finalist for the 2024 Hayek Prize. My first book, Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right (Oxford, 2009), was an intellectual biography of the libertarian novelist Ayn Rand.
I have published articles about the history of conservatism, libertarianism, and liberalism in a number of academic and popular journals, including Reviews in American History, Modern Intellectual History, Journal of Cultural Economy, The New York Times, The New Republic, and Dissent.
At Stanford I teach courses on modern U.S. history, intellectual history, and the history of economic thought.
My writing on the history of conservatism, libertarianism, and liberalism has appeared in a number of academic and popular journals, including Reviews in American History, Modern Intellectual History, Journal of Cultural Economy, The New York Times, The New Republic, and Dissent.

Noah Burns
Associate Professor of Chemistry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch in our group explores the boundaries of modern organic synthesis to enable the more rapid creation of the highest molecular complexity in a predictable and controllable fashion. We are particularly inspired by natural products not only because of their importance as synthetic targets but also due to their ability to serve as invaluable identifiers of unanswered scientific questions.
One major focus of our research is selective halogenation of organic molecules. Dihalogenation and halofunctionalization encompass some of the most fundamental transformations in our field, yet methods capable of accessing relevant halogenated motifs in a chemo-, regio-, and enantioselective fashion are lacking.
We are also interested in the practical total synthesis of natural products for which there is true impetus for their construction due to unanswered chemical, medicinal, biological, or biophysical questions. We are specifically engaged in the construction of unusual lipids with unanswered questions regarding their physical properties and for which synthesis offers a unique opportunity for study.
