Dr. Shankar’s clinical focus is the medical and surgical care of cataracts and adult glaucoma, including premium lenses and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). Dr. Shankar’s research and professional interests include ophthalmic public health, biomedical devices, and digital health. He has a particular interest in the intersection of entrepreneurship, public health, and ophthalmology, aiming to find innovative solutions that will impact millions of patients.
Dr. Shankar has published research on lung cancer metastasis to the optic nerve, pharmacologic therapies in glaucoma, and surgical outcomes with a novel glaucoma device. He has also delivered presentations nationwide on topics including screening rates for diabetic retinopathy based on insurance type and socioeconomic factors, Medicaid expansion, and health disparities.
Dr. Shankar completed a combined MD/MPH at Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine. He earned the Albert F. Koetter, MD Scholarship; Dean’s Research Fellowship; and Jonathan Mann Fellowship as a medical student. He completed his ophthalmology residency at the Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. He subsequently completed his fellowship in glaucoma at the Stanford Byers Eye Institute.
Dr. Shankar is the cofounder of a seed-stage ophthalmic medical device startup that aims to improve patient safety and mitigate the environmental impact of eye care worldwide.

Michael Shanks
Professor of Classics
BioProfessor at Stanford University, Michael Shanks is one of the most original and influential of contemporary archaeologists. He has been at the forefront of archaeological thought and practice since the 1980s, pioneering new ways of understanding and explaining, engaging with Graeco-Roman antiquity and European prehistory, mobilizing remains of the past all around us — instigating changes in archaeology and how we all work with remains of the past. A specialist in long-term perspectives on design and creativity, innovation and social change, he explores connections across the sciences, humanities, and arts in research collaborations and outreach through and beyond the academy, tapping more than $32m of funding over the last 25 years.
Current projects
MS is currently completing four long-running and interrelated projects.
Archaeological history — building scenarios.
Greece and Rome: a new model of antiquity. With Gary Devore. A project concerned with how one might conceive of antiquity as a kind of archaeological prehistory, retold through speculative fabulation. Against conventional narrative is offered a model of ancient lifeworlds conveyed through 45 personae and scenarios. Estimated delivery end of 2026.
Archaeological sites — encountering location.
Against place: a border archaeology. Based on archaeological itineraries in the northern borders of England/Scotland, including prehistoric and Roman field research, this project explores border crossings, trespass and transgression in questioning the character of space and place, site and region. Estimated delivery 2027.
Archaeological praxis — performance design.
Theatre/Archaeology: performing remains. With Mike Pearson. This book sums up 30 years of collaboration with performance artist Mike Pearson. In five portfolios of case studies in performance design they set out a pragmatics and methodology of deep mapping contemporary antiquity and prehistory. Estimated delivery end of 2025.
Archaeological actuality — for the future.
Archaeologies of Nature in Art: from Landscape to Climate Breakdown. With Gabriella Giannachi. This project mobilizes an archaeology of arts practices, from prehistory to contemporary art, to offer action-oriented responses to climate change in a reframing of the concept of nature. Estimated delivery autumn 2025.
The following is part of his continuing exploration of Applied Archaeology — design foresight.
Project Athena: Innovation in and through Learning. With Aisin Corporation led by Kenji Suzuki and in collaboration with Kimihiko Iwamura. Developing learning community and competencies in creative pragmatics — designing and implementing a strategy of corporate culture change. Ongoing 2025 – 2026. -

Yanjie Shao
Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering
BioYanjie Shao is an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and his B.S. in Physics from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). His research develops advanced semiconductor materials, devices, and integrated systems for energy-efficient information processing, with a particular focus on CMOS-compatible technologies, three-dimensional electronics, and nanoscale transport physics. His work integrates materials synthesis, nanofabrication, device characterization, and physics-based modeling.
Before joining Stanford, Yanjie was a postdoctoral researcher at MIT working with Prof. Jesús del Alamo and Prof. Dimitri Antoniadis, where he developed high-performance amorphous oxide semiconductor transistors and nanoscale ferroelectric devices for logic, memory, and AI hardware applications. His doctoral research at MIT, advised by Prof. Jesús del Alamo, advanced ultra-scaled tunneling transistors for low-voltage electronics by leveraging extreme quantum confinement to engineer tunneling transport at the nanoscale. He was a recipient of the Intel's 2023 Outstanding Researcher Award. -
Benjamin Shapero
Ph.D. Student in Earth System Science, admitted Autumn 2020
BioI am a geomicrobiologist and am broadly interested in the connections between protein biochemistry, environmental microbiology, and biogeochemistry. I hail from the surf town of Encinitas near San Diego. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Southern California (USC), where I majored in both Biological Sciences and Classical Saxophone Performance. At USC I volunteered in a cellular and molecular neuroscience lab, and it was there that I discovered my fascination with proteins. After graduation, I worked in a vaccine design lab at Scripps Research. This research fostered my growing fascination with protein biochemistry and further exposed me to the realm of microbiology. I have since followed my interests in proteins and microbiology, along with my longstanding passion for climate science, to the field of geomicrobiology. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in geomicrobiology at Stanford University in the Earth System Science department.
