Eri Fukaya
Clinical Professor, Surgery - Vascular Surgery
Clinical Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population HealthBioDr. Fukaya practices Vascular Medicine at the Stanford Vascular Clinics and Advanced Wound Care Center. She received her medical education in Tokyo and completed her medical training both in the US and Japan. She joined Stanford in 2015.
Vascular Medicine covers a wide range of vascular disorders including chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, post thrombotic syndrome, peripheral artery disease, carotid artery disease, cardiovascular risk evaluation, fibromuscular dysplasia, rare vascular disease, lymphedema, arterial/venous/diabetic ulcers, and wound care.
Dr. Fukaya has a special interest in venous disease and started the Stanford Vascular and Vein Clinic in 2016.

Glen Fukushima
Affiliate, Center for East Asian Studies
BioGlen S. Fukushima is Vice Chair of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), confirmed by the Senate in April 2022, and Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress (CAP) in Washington, D.C. From 1990 to 2012, he was a senior business executive based in Asia with one European and four American multinational corporations: AT&T, Arthur D. Little, Cadence Design Systems, NCR, and Airbus. He was twice elected President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ACCJ). He served in the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) as Director for Japanese Affairs (1985-1988) and as Deputy Assistant United States Trade Representative for Japan and China (1988-1990). Glen has served on numerous corporate and nonprofit boards in the United States, Japan, and Europe and has been a member of the Council on Foreign Relations since 1993. A bilingual and bicultural third-generation American of Japanese ancestry, he grew up in California and Japan. He was educated in the United States at Deep Springs College, Stanford University, and Harvard University (Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Business School, and Law School) and in Japan at Keio University and the University of Tokyo, where he was a Fulbright Fellow. Glen's hobbies include music, art, wine, and travel. His wife, Sakie, a Harvard EdM and Stanford MBA, was the first woman board member of Sony, Kao, Bridgestone, Mitsubishi Corp., Konica Minolta, etc. Details can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_S._Fukushima

BioThe processing of complex liquids (polymers, suspensions, emulsions, biological fluids) alters their microstructure through orientation and deformation of their constitutive elements. In the case of polymeric liquids, it is of interest to obtain in situ measurements of segmental orientation and optical methods have proven to be an excellent means of acquiring this information. Research in our laboratory has resulted in a number of techniques in optical rheometry such as high-speed polarimetry (birefringence and dichroism) and various microscopy methods (fluorescence, phase contrast, and atomic force microscopy).
The microstructure of polymeric and other complex materials also cause them to have interesting physical properties and respond to different flow conditions in unusual manners. In our laboratory, we are equipped with instruments that are able to characterize these materials such as shear rheometer, capillary break up extensional rheometer, and 2D extensional rheometer. Then, the response of these materials to different flow conditions can be visualized and analyzed in detail using high speed imaging devices at up to 2,000 frames per second.
There are numerous processes encountered in nature and industry where the deformation of fluid-fluid interfaces is of central importance. Examples from nature include deformation of the red blood cell in small capillaries, cell division and structure and composition of the tear film. Industrial applications include the processing of emulsions and foams, and the atomization of droplets in ink-jet printing. In our laboratory, fundamental research is in progress to understand the orientation and deformation of monolayers at the molecular level. These experiments employ state of the art optical methods such as polarization modulated dichroism, fluorescence microscopy, and Brewster angle microscopy to obtain in situ measurements of polymer films and small molecule amphiphile monolayers subject to flow. Langmuir troughs are used as the experimental platform so that the thermodynamic state of the monolayers can be systematically controlled. For the first time, well characterized, homogeneous surface flows have been developed, and real time measurements of molecular and microdomain orientation have been obtained. These microstructural experiments are complemented by measurements of the macroscopic, mechanical properties of the films.
