Sigrid Elschot
Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics
BioSigrid Elschot is a Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics and founding director of the Space Environment and Satellite Systems laboratory. Her research focuses on understanding and mitigating the space environment to enable more resilient spacecraft for interplanetary and interstellar exploration. Her work includes space weather detection and modeling, which is central to Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and Space Domain Awareness (SDA), achieved by integrating in situ and remote sensing data with high fidelity simulations to characterize space hazards. Current efforts include experimental and computational studies of hypervelocity dust and debris impacts on spacecraft using dust accelerators, light-gas guns, and Particle-In-Cell simulations, and ground-based radar to remotely characterize space debris and meteoroid populations. Prof. Elschot also leads research programs in hypersonic plasma physics relevant to atmospheric re-entry vehicles, and space energy harvesting for spacecraft power and propulsion. Prof. Elschot has been the recipient of several awards, including the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), NSF CAREER award, DoE CAREER award, Outstanding Mentor Award and Outstanding Professor in Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Lucas Encarnacion-Rivera
Ph.D. Student in Neurosciences, admitted Autumn 2020
BioI am a PhD candidate in the Neurosciences program co-advised by Karl Deisseroth, MD PhD, and Liqun Luo, PhD

Jannik Endress
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Graduate School of Business
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI study emergent coordination in populations of LLM agents. The focus is how shared conventions arise on networks, when that order is stable, and what happens when a committed minority or other pressure tries to break it. That is a concrete window onto multi-agent AI safety.

Drew Endy
Associate Professor of Bioengineering and Senior Fellow, by courtesy, at the Hoover Institution and at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe work to strengthen the foundations and expand the frontiers of synthetic biology. Our foundational work includes (i) advancing reliable reuse of bio-measurements and -materials via standards that enable coordination of labor, and (ii) developing and integrating measurement and modeling tools for representing and analyzing living matter at whole-cell scales. Our work beyond the frontiers of current practice includes (iii) bootstrapping biotechnology tools in unconventional organisms (e.g., mealworms, wood fungus, skin microbes), and (iv) exploring the limits of whole-genome recoding and building cells from scratch. We also support strategy and policy work related to bio-safety, security, economy, equity, justice, and leadership.

Cassondra Eng
Affiliate, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioDr. Cassondra (Cassie) Eng is an NIH-funded T32 Postdoctoral Scholar in Sports Neuroscience at Stanford University’s Center for Interdisciplinary Brain Sciences Research (CIBSR). Her research focuses on optimizing immersive interventions that promote neurological, cognitive, and physical health outcomes. Dr. Eng investigates attentional processes in technologically enhanced contexts, with an emphasis on the brain-behavior mechanisms that drive differential outcomes. She specializes in using mobile functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), a modern neuroimaging technique that is noninvasive, wearable, and allows for full mobility in naturalistic settings—making it ideal for studying human behavior in ecologically relevant settings.
Dr. Eng programs exercise-based interventions using game engines to enhance participant engagement and data automation, supplementing neurocognitive assessments with physiological measures across populations from childhood to adulthood. Her work incorporates task-based and clinical norm-referenced assessments of cognition, quantitative and qualitative assessments of learning in VR/XR contexts, eye tracking, EEG, cardiovascular measures related to performance and stress, and data analysis techniques using mixed-effects modeling, multivariate analysis, and longitudinal data analysis.
Dr. Eng earned her Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience and Developmental Psychology from Carnegie Mellon University, where she also received a Program for Interdisciplinary Education Research (PIER) Certification through the Institute of Education Sciences. Her work specializes in educational neuroscience, an interdisciplinary field bridging cognitive science, psychology, educational technology, human-computer interaction, computer science, and related disciplines to identify optimal learning contexts that support brain development and cognitive skills essential for overall well-being and health. -
Lawrence Eng
Professor (Research) of Pathology, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsAstrocytes make up a substantial proportion of the central nervous system (CNS) and participate in a variety of important physiologic and pathologic processes. They are characterized by vigorous response to diverse neurologic insults.
