Peter Mann
Lecturer
BioPeter Mann is a writer and historian of Modern Europe. He is the author of the novels THE TORQUED MAN (Harper, 2022) and WORLD PACIFIC (Harper, 2025), both named New Yorker Best Books of the Year.
Mann is interested in 19th- and 20th-century literature and history, especially where they intersect with politics and the absurd. He is also a cartoonist, with work featured in The Baffler, Brick, and GoComics, and currently publishes comics on his Substack newsletter "The Quixote Syndrome."
At Stanford Mann teaches the first-year Foundations sequence of the Master of Liberal Arts (MLA) program, a syllabus in literature, history, and art, with readings that span the ancient epic to the contemporary novel. Before coming to the MLA, he taught for several years in Stanford's residential freshman humanities program, Structured Liberal Education. He also regularly teaches courses in Stanford Continuing Studies, including: "Modernism in the Metropolis: Artists and Intellectuals in the European City, 1848-1945" and "Modernity and its Discontents: European Thought and Culture from Fin de Siècle to World War II." -

Suria Sudhakaran Mannil
Clinical Instructor, Ophthalmology
BioDr. Mannil’s academic work spans several high-impact areas, including investigations into the pathophysiology of glaucoma, intracranial pressure dynamics, and advanced imaging biomarkers using OCT, MRI, and machine-learning–based visual field analytics and trans-laminar pressure gradients. She is actively involved in Stanford’s glaucoma research ecosystem, contributing to imaging-based phenotyping, structure–function correlation studies, and novel diagnostic paradigms for early glaucoma detection.
Her clinical interests encompass the full spectrum of glaucoma and neuro-ophthalmic disease, with expertise in complex diagnostic evaluations, optic neuropathies, and imaging-heavy neuro-visual syndromes. Dr. Mannil’s interest areas include cortical visual disorders, dorsal midbrain syndromes, and secondary optic neuropathies.
Dr. Mannil is committed to global health, having served in multiple high-volume community outreach programs and charitable surgical initiatives in India and Nepal. She has also contributed in developing structured research and clinical documentation systems from India, Nepal, Hongkong and the US as part of data-driven research programs at Stanford.
In addition to clinical and research work, Dr. Mannil is building a strong academic portfolio that includes teaching neuro-ophthalmology and glaucoma concepts to residents and fellows, creating image-rich educational materials, and leading structured journal reviews on topics such as trans-laminar pressure physiology, optic nerve vulnerability, and advanced glaucoma diagnostics.
Her professional interests extend to medical education innovation, patient-facing learning tools, and leveraging large language models for improved ophthalmic communication and global eyecare.
Dr. Mannil has authored multiple scholarly works, book chapters, and presented as invited faculty at Asia Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology conferences, along with multiple paper presentations at AAO, ARVO, ICGS, and various international glaucoma conferences. She was awarded the prestigious Asia Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology achievement award in 2025 and has also been awarded the Woman in Ophthalmology Honor by the Women Ophthalmology Society of India in 2018. She continues to collaborate with leaders in the field. She is the recipient of the APAO Travel Grant and the APAO International Fellowship Program. Her goal is to bridge the gap between glaucoma, neuro-ophthalmology, and digital innovation to advance precision care for complex optic nerve diseases.
Beyond medicine, Dr. Mannil nurtures a deep passion for writing, creative storytelling, interior décor, exploring ancient towns and cultural preservation, particularly through folklore and heritage narratives. She enjoys curating visual art projects, exploring international cuisine, weight training, and capturing travel and nature through photography.
She lives in the Bay Area and loves exploring various cuisines and reviewing rustic cottages with her husband. The most favorite part of her day is playing sidekick to her 5 year old son. -
Christopher Manning
Thomas M. Siebel Professor of Machine Learning, Professor of Linguistics, of Computer Science and Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI
BioChristopher Manning is the inaugural Thomas M. Siebel Professor in Machine Learning in the Departments of Linguistics and Computer Science at Stanford University, Director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL), and an Associate Director of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI). From 2010, Manning pioneered Natural Language Understanding and Inference using Deep Learning, with impactful research on sentiment analysis, paraphrase detection, the GloVe model of word vectors, attention, neural machine translation, question answering, self-supervised model pre-training, tree-recursive neural networks, machine reasoning, dependency parsing, and summarization, work for which he has received two ACL Test of Time Awards and the IEEE John von Neumann Medal (2024). He earlier led the development of empirical, probabilistic approaches to NLP, computational linguistics, and language understanding, defining and building theories and systems for Natural Language Inference, syntactic parsing, machine translation, and multilingual language processing, work for which he won ACL, Coling, EMNLP, and CHI Best Paper Awards. In NLP education, Manning coauthored foundational textbooks on statistical approaches to NLP (Manning and Schütze 1999) and information retrieval (Manning, Raghavan, and Schütze, 2008), and his online CS224N Natural Language Processing with Deep Learning course videos have been watched by hundreds of thousands. In linguistics, Manning is a principal developer of Stanford Dependencies and Universal Dependencies, and has authored monographs on ergativity and complex predicates. He is the founder of the Stanford NLP group (@stanfordnlp) and was an early proponent of open source software in NLP with Stanford CoreNLP and Stanza. He is an ACM Fellow, a AAAI Fellow, and an ACL Fellow, and a Past President of the ACL (2015). Manning has a B.A. (Hons) from The Australian National University, a Ph.D. from Stanford in 1994, and an Honorary Doctorate from U. Amsterdam in 2023. He held faculty positions at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Sydney before returning to Stanford.

Gabriel Mannis
Associate Professor of Medicine (Hematology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on the development of more effective, less toxic therapies for patients with AML and other high-risk hematologic malignancies. We study biologic correlates that predict response to therapy as well as factors/interventions that improve quality-of-life for patients struggling with blood-borne cancers.

Andrew J. Mannix
Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsAtomically thin 2D materials incorporated into van der Waals heterostructures are a promising platform to deterministically engineer quantum materials with atomically resolved thickness and abrupt interfaces across macroscopic length scales while retaining excellent material properties. Because 2D materials exhibit a wide range of electronic characteristics with properties that often rival conventional electronic materials — e.g., metals, semiconductors, insulators, and superconductors — it is possible to combine them in virtually infinite variety to achieve diverse heterostructures. Furthermore, the van der Waals interface enables interlayer twist engineering to modify the interlayer symmetry, periodic potential (moiré superlattice), and hybridization, which has resulted in novel quantum states of matter. Many of these heterostructures, especially those involving specific interlayer twist angles, would be otherwise infeasible through direct growth.
The Mannix Group is developing a unique set of in-house capabilities to systematically elucidate the fundamental structure-property relationships underpinning the growth of 2D materials and their inclusion into van der Waals heterostructures. Greater understanding will allow us to provide a platform for engineering the properties of matter at the atomic scale and offer guidance for emerging applications in novel electronics and in quantum information science.
To accomplish this, we employ: precise growth techniques such as chemical vapor deposition and molecular beam epitaxy; automated van der Waals assembly; and atomically-resolved microscopy including cryo-STM/AFM. -
