James Harris
James and Elenor Chesebrough Professor in the School of Engineering, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch interests have been in the areas of new electronic and optoelectronic device structures created by heterojunctions, quantum wells, superlattices and nanostructured materials. Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) has been the foundation to prepare nanostructured metastable materials with atomic layer control and dimensions smaller than the wavelength of electrons. In this regime, quantum size effects can be utilized to create entirely new device structures based upon tailored transitions between quantum states and tunneling between states and structures. Past two decades focused on MBE growth of novel optoelectronic materials (GaInNAsSb) for long wavelength lasers and solar cells; quantum well structures for surface emitting lasers with power and bandwidth demands of AI now driving 10,000 element VCSEL arrays for optical interconnect; integrated nanophotonic structures for laser driven dielectric electron accelerators and free electron lasers (FEL) on a wafer for medical imagining systems; high speed optical modulators and non-linear optical effects for generation, control and application of ultra-short optical pulses; ultra-high efficiency multi-bandgap solar cells; world record solar to hydrogen conversion with water splitting; Si based photonic devices, including single photon avalanche detector (SPAD) for range finding and autonomous vehicles; implantable retina prosthesis with first human response in phase 1 human trials, 12/17.

Jerry Harris
The Cecil H. and Ida M. Green Professor in Geophysics, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsBiographical Information
Jerry M. Harris is the Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Geophysics and Associate Dean for the Office of Multicultural Affairs. He joined Stanford in 1988 following 11 years in private industry. He served five years as Geophysics department chair, was the Founding Director of the Stanford Center for Computational Earth and Environmental Science (CEES), and co-launched Stanford's Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP). Graduates from Jerry's research group, the Stanford Wave Physics Lab, work in private industry, government labs, and universities.
Research
My research interests address the physics and dynamics of seismic and electromagnetic waves in complex media. My approach to these problems includes theory, numerical simulation, laboratory methods, and the analysis of field data. My group, collectively known as the Stanford Wave Physics Laboratory, specializes on high frequency borehole methods and low frequency labratory methods. We apply this research to the characterization and monitoring of petroleum and CO2 storage reservoirs.
Teaching
I teach courses on waves phenomena for borehole geophysics and tomography. I recently introduced and co-taught a new course on computational geosciences.
Professional Activities
I was the First Vice President of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists in 2003-04, and have served as the Distinguished Lecturer for the SPE, SEG, and AAPG. -
Elizabeth Finlayson Harris
Ph.D. Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2023
BioElizabeth Finlayson Harris is a PhD student in Curriculum and Teacher Education at Stanford University, specializing in science, engineering, and technology education with a minor in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Her research examines epistemology, affect, and feminist perspectives in science education, with particular attention to pre-service teacher learning. She has published in Science Education, Emotion, Space and Society, and Studying Teacher Education, and her current projects explore humor, laughter, and epistemic affect in science classrooms. A former high school physics teacher and instructional designer, Liz brings a commitment to equity, joy, and critical inquiry in both her teaching and scholarship.

Sean Edmund Harris, MB BCh BAO
Clinical Assistant Professor, Surgery - Vascular Surgery
BioDr. Sean Edmund Harris is a board-eligible vascular surgeon with Stanford Health Care Vascular and Endovascular Care. He is also an assistant professor in the Department of Surgery, Division of Vascular Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Harris specializes in creating and maintaining dialysis access, working closely with nephrologists to provide complex kidney disease care. His other interests include venous disease management and endovascular management of aortic and peripheral vascular diseases. As a physician-researcher, Dr. Harris has traveled around the world and brings extensive and diverse vascular education back to his patients. He also understands the needs of the local community as a San Francisco Bay Area native.
Dr. Harris has published his findings in several peer-reviewed journals, including Annals of Vascular Surgery, the Journal of the American College of Surgeons, the Journal of Vascular Surgery, and the Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery. He has also shared his expertise globally, presenting leading-edge vascular surgery research at prominent conferences of the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS), the European Society for Vascular Surgery, and the International Aortic Summit.
Dr. Harris is a member of the New England Society for Vascular Surgery and the SVS. -
