Barbara L. Voss
Professor of Anthropology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am a historical archaeologist who studies the dynamics and outcomes of transnational cultural encounters: How did diverse groups of people, who previously had little knowledge of each other, navigate the challenges and opportunities of abrupt and sustained interactions caused by colonialism, conflict, and migration? I approach this question through fine-grained, site-specific investigations coupled with broad-scale comparative and collaborative research programs.

Andre Thien Vu
MD Student with Scholarly Concentration in Bioengineering / Cardiovascular-Pulmonary Sciences, expected graduation Winter 2029
BioMy name is Andre Vu, and I am currently an MS1 at Stanford School of Medicine. Growing up in Little Saigon as a child of Vietnamese refugees, I have always felt deeply connected to my cultural heritage and community. This background has fueled my passion for addressing health disparities, particularly in underserved populations.
My interests lie in improving health disparities and fostering innovation within the healthcare sector. I believe that finding creative solutions and equitable resource distribution are crucial for improving health outcomes in marginalized communities. Outside of my academic and professional pursuits, I have a deep love for cooking Vietnamese cuisine. It is a way for me to stay connected to my roots and share my culture with others. I also enjoy expressing my creativity through painting and sculpting, which provide a wonderful balance to my studies and allow me to unwind.
I am committed to using my medical education to meaningfully impact healthcare accessibility and quality, and I am excited to be part of a future where every individual has the opportunity to achieve optimal health. -

Jelena Vuckovic
Jensen Huang Professor of Global Leadership, Professor of Electrical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Applied Physics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsJelena Vuckovic’s research interests are broadly in the areas of nanophotonics, quantum and nonlinear optics. Her lab develops semiconductor-based photonic chip-scale systems with goals to probe new regimes of light-matter interaction, as well as to enable platforms for future classical and quantum information processing technologies. She also works on transforming conventional photonics with the concept of inverse design, where optimal photonic devices are designed from scratch using computer algorithms with little to no human input. Her current projects include quantum and nonlinear optics, cavity QED, and quantum information processing with color centers in diamond and in silicon carbide, heterogeneously integrated chip-scale photonic systems, and on-chip laser driven particle accelerators.
