Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research is on race and inequality. I am especially interested in examining race and inequality in the criminal justice context. My most recent research focuses on how the association of African Americans with crime might matter at different points in the criminal justice system and how this association can affect us in surprising ways.

Asiri Ediriwickrema MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Hematology)
BioAsiri Ediriwickrema, MD, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Medicine (Hematology) at the Stanford University School of Medicine. His clinical focus is on the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of patients with myelodysplastic neoplasms and clonal hematopoiesis.
Dr. Ediriwickrema earned his undergraduate degree in Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, his MD (Cum Laude) from Yale University, and his PhD from Stanford University. He completed his residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Hematology at Stanford, where he also conducted his doctoral and postdoctoral research in the laboratory of Dr. Ravi Majeti. His research identified novel populations of multipotent progenitor cells in normal hematopoiesis and leukemia stem cells in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
He currently leads a systems hematology laboratory that integrates advanced single-cell technologies, computational biology, and functional hematology to study both normal and malignant blood development. His research has been supported by numerous awards, including the NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (F32), the American Society of Hematology Scholar Award, and the Edward P. Evans Foundation Young Investigator Award. -
Matthew R. Edwards
Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering
BioMatthew Edwards is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering. His research applies high-power lasers to the development of optical diagnostics for fluids and plasmas, the study of intense light-matter interactions, and the construction of compact light and particle sources, combining adaptive high-repetition-rate experiments and large-scale simulations to explore new regimes in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, and plasma physics.
Matthew received BSE, MA, and PhD degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University. He was then a Lawrence Fellow in the National Ignition Facility and Photon Science Directorate at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. -
Paul N. Edwards
Senior Lecturer, Inter-Departmental Programs
BioI retired in January 2026 to escape rising fascism in the USA. Until then, I was Director of the Program on Science, Technology & Society (STS) and a Senior Research Scholar at the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford. I also co-directed the Stanford Existential Risks Initiative with Prof. Steve Luby.
I'm also Professor of Information and History (Emeritus) at the University of Michigan, where I worked for 19 years in the School of Information, the Dept. of History, and the STS Program. I taught previously at Stanford from 1992-1998, in the STS Program and the Computer Science Dept.
I study the history, politics, and culture of information infrastructures, especially climate knowledge systems. My books include A Vast Machine: Computer Models, Climate Data, and the Politics of Global Warming (MIT Press, 2010), The Closed World: Computers and the Politics of Discourse in Cold War America (MIT Press, 1996), and Changing the Atmosphere: Expert Knowledge and Environmental Governance (MIT Press, 2001, co-edited with Clark Miller). With Janet Vertesi (Princeton), I'm academic editor of the MIT Press book series Infrastructures.
I served as one of 234 Lead Authors for the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Working Group I (Physical Sciences), released in August 2021. -
Elizabeth Egan
Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Infectious Diseases) and of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMalaria is a parasitic disease transmitted by mosquitos that is a leading cause of childhood mortality globally. Public health efforts to control malaria have historically been hampered by the rapid development of drug resistance. The goal of our research is to understand the molecular determinants of critical host-pathogen interactions in malaria, with a focus on the erythrocyte host cell. Our long-term goal is to develop novel approaches to prevent or treat malaria and improve child health.
