Zhefu Yu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Physics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research aims to understand how supermassive black holes (SMBHs) grow over cosmic time, one of the key questions in astrophysics.
I have done substantial work in accurately measuring the mass of SMBHs through reverberation mapping (RM). In particular, I derived a new relationship between the radius of the Mg II broad line region and the continuum luminosity of the active galactic nuclei (AGN) based on the OzDES RM project, which is critical for SMBH mass measurements and demographic studies in cosmic noon – the peak of AGN activity. I have also done extensive work in understanding the accretion physics in both AGN and quiescent SMBHs.
Now my work focuses on better understanding the accretion onto SMBHs, the major path of SMBH growth. I collaborate closely with the XOC group and the Rubin LSST team in KIPAC. My research probes the inner most region of the AGN accretion disk through joint analysis of the X-ray spectral and timing data. I will also probe the accretion disk through time domain analysis of the LSST data in the near future. -

Anisa Yudawanti
Ph.D. Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2023
Bioa-nee-sa yoo-da-wan-tee
she/her/hers
Anisa Yudawanti (she/her) is a PhD Candidate in Race, Inequality, and Language in Education in the Graduate School of Education. She comes to Stanford by way of the Midwest and West Sumatra, Indonesia.
Drawing on her experience as a community-based youth worker and high school social studies teacher, Anisa's research moves us to consider what studies of space and movement can bring to bear on our understanding of schools. Her scholarship sits at the intersections of education studies, Black and critical geographies, and abolition and carceral studies. Her current study examines schools as sites of enclosure and how racially marked youth navigate school space through the lens of escape and fugitivity. She situates her inquiry in the Midwest and the Bay Area. -

Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Sleep Medicine
BioDr. Kin Min Yuen is a board-certified, fellowship-trained sleep medicine specialist with Stanford Health Care. She is also a clinical instructor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Division of Sleep Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Yuen specializes in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders in adults and children older than 3 years old. Conditions she treats include insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, periodic limb movement disorder, restless legs syndrome, and sleepwalking.
Dr. Yuen’s research interests have included women and sleep disorders, healthy sleep and aging, and advancements in treating sleep apnea.
Dr. Yuen has published her research in peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, Chest, International Journal of Sleep Disorders, and Psychosomatic Medicine. She has presented to her peers at international, national, and regional meetings, including those of the American Thoracic Society, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), and the California Sleep Society (CSS).
Dr. Yuen is a member of the AASM, the CSS, the International Pediatric Sleep Association (IPSA), and the World Sleep Society. -
