Kelly Gaffney
Professor of Photon Science and, by courtesy, of Chemistry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe research team Professor Gaffney leads focuses on time resolved studies of chemical reactions. Recent advances in ultrafast x-ray lasers, like the LCLS at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, enable chemical reactions to be observed on the natural time and length scales of the chemical bond – femtoseconds and Ångströms. The knowledge gained from x-ray and optical laser studies will be used to spark new approaches to photo-catalysis and chemical synthesis.

BioJohn V. Gahagan MD is a Clinical Associate Professor in Colon & Rectal Surgery. He leads the Colon & Rectal Surgery residency program as Program Director and serves as Chief of Surgery and the Medical Director of Supply Chain at the Stanford Tri-Valley Hospital. He joined Stanford in 2019 to build the Stanford Colon & Rectal Surgery practice in the East Bay at Stanford Tri-Valley in Pleasanton and at Stanford Health Care – Emeryville. He has training in advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques including robotic and laparoscopic surgery. He has authored several textbook chapters and original articles in peer-reviewed journals. His clinical practice is focused on the surgical treatment of colon and rectal cancers, inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease), and benign colon and anorectal diseases (diverticulitis, hemorrhoids, fistulas, fissures). He believes in patient-centered care and multi-disciplinary approach to the treatment of diseases of the colon, rectum and anus.
Dr. Gahagan is passionate about surgical education. He serves as an Associate Program Director of the Stanford General Surgery Residency Training Program. In that role, he oversees resident evaluation and feedback. He led the revamp of the program’s evaluation process and Clinical Competency Committee – work that has been presented at the Association of Program Directors in Surgery (APDS) and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). In 2021, he established the Stanford General Surgery Endoscopy rotation, giving general surgery residents an opportunity to gain endoscopy experience by collaborating with faculty gastroenterologists and fulfilling their graduation requirements. In 2026, he established the Colon & Rectal Surgery residency program at Stanford and serves as the Program Director. At the time of accreditation, this program was the only ACGME accredited Colon & Rectal Surgery residency program in Northern California. In addition, he is the General Surgery Rotation Director for the Stanford Tri-Valley Family Medicine Residency. On a national level, he is an associate question writer for the American Board of Colon & Rectal Surgery and serves on the USMLE Step 3 Test Development committee and the USMLE Management Committee.

Rosaley Gai
Ph.D. Student in Japanese, admitted Autumn 2020
EAH Workshop Coordinator, East Asian Languages and CulturesCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on depictions of food and eating in modern Japanese literature and media. In particular, I am interested in how material studies, food discourse, and reader reception intertwine in fiction. Aside from my dissertation, I also work on material food studies, meat-eating in Japan, and lineages of transpacific "fusion" food in the 20th and 21st centuries. I am also a wagashi (Japanese sweets) maker and lead workshops at Stanford on occasion.

Izzy Benjamin Gainsburg
Social Science Research Scholar, Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society
Research Scholar, Institute for Research in the Social SciencesBioI'm a social psychologist and Associate Director of Stanford University’s Politics and Social Change Lab (PASCL). There, I help lead the lab’s research program, cultivate partnerships with government and civil-society organizations, translate findings for practitioners and the public, and chart PASCL’s strategic direction.
My scholarship clusters around three threads:
1. Persuasion and Intervention Design (with a side of Artificial Intelligence) – designing and evaluating persuasive appeals and interventions to promote prosocial behavior and flourishing, and exploring how AI can enhance these efforts.
2. Compassion, Moral Concern, and Altruism – investigating psychological factors that influence compassion, altruistic behavior, and moral concern toward distant or abstract entities such as animals and future generations.
3. Meta-Science and Field-Building – identifying and promoting the highest-impact research questions and interventions, and developing novel methods (including AI-based approaches) to maximize social scientists' positive impact on society.
Before Stanford, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School and the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. I received Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Michigan (2020) and my B.A. in Psychology from Tufts University (2011).
Outside the lab, you'll find me spending time with family and friends, playing all the sports, improvising dishes in the kitchen, and doing various nature-y things in nature.
