Katelyn Hansen-McKown
COLLEGE Lecturer
BioKatelyn is a Lecturer in the Civic, Liberal, and Global Education (COLLEGE) program. She earned a B.S. in Biology at Stanford and completed an honors thesis on her research in the Fire Lab using the nematode C. elegans to examine metal toxicity in the presence of the chelator, glyphosate. She went on to earn a Ph.D. in Genetics from the Stanford School of Medicine, studying stomatal development in the temperate grass model and smaller relative to wheat, Brachypodium distachyon, in the Bergmann Lab. Stomata are pores on the surfaces of leaves that regulate gas and water exchange. They are essential in managing the plant’s nutrient circulation, temperature, and water use efficiency, and therefore have important implications for drought tolerance. Katelyn’s research focused on characterizing members of a well-conserved transcription factor family involved in stomatal differentiation using genetic approaches to understand how grasses’ unique stomata are formed, including the creation of cross-species rescues to test for functional conservation across monocots and dicots.
Katelyn is also passionate about science communication and teaching, and has organized science outreach events through outlets such as Stanford’s Splash, Taste of Science, and Nightlife at the Cal Academy; tutored at the Hume Writing Center and for the Biology honors thesis writing class; and served as an Indigenous research mentor for first year Native students in Frosh Fellows. When she’s not in the lab or classroom, Katelyn can be found gardening, fishing, playing board games, or exploring the great outdoors. -

Eric Hanushek
Paul and Jean Hanna Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution and Professor, by courtesy, of Education
BioEric Hanushek is the Paul and Jean Hanna Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University. He is internationally recognized for his economic analysis of educational issues, and his research has broadly influenced education policy in both developed and developing countries. In recognition of his outstanding contributions to the field, he was awarded the prestigious Yidan Prize for Education Research in 2021. His extensive and well-cited body of work encompasses many pivotal topics within education, including class size reduction, school accountability, and teacher effectiveness. His pioneering exploration into teacher effectiveness, quantified through students' learning gains, laid the foundation for the widespread adoption of value-added measures in evaluating educators and institutions. His seminal book, The Knowledge Capital of Nations: Education and the Economics of Growth, establishes the close relationship between a nation's long-term economic growth and the skill levels of its populace. His scholarly contributions include twenty-six books and over 300 articles contributing to knowledge within the field. He is a Distinguished Graduate of the United States Air Force Academy and completed his Ph.D. in economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. (https://hanushek.stanford.edu/)

Sheikh Rubaiat Ul Haque
Postdoctoral Scholar, Photon Science, SLAC
BioRubaiat received his undergraduate degree in Applied Physics from the University of Tokyo in 2017. He then moved to the University of California San Diego where he finished his PhD in Physics under Professor Richard Averitt in 2023. During his PhD, he performed time-resolved broadband terahertz spectroscopy on excitonic insulator candidate Ta2NiSe5 where he demonstrated light-induced terahertz parametric amplification and photonic time crystal state mediated by phonon squeezing. He has also worked on the optical control of plasmonic modes in semiconducting metamaterials. Currently, Rubaiat is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University working with Professors Tony Heinz and Aaron Lindenberg on the strong-field lightwave-driven dynamics of low-dimensional materials. His research interests also include cavity QED and Floquet engineering of quantum materials.
