Yonatan Winetraub
Instructor, Structural Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy interests span non-invasive imaging for early cancer diagnosis and space exploration.
I'm focusing on utilizing Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and machine learning to create virtual histology tools to image cancer non invasively at a single cell resolution, allowing physicians to skip biopsy (read more about the research). Prior to my PhD at Stanford, I co-founded SpaceIL, a non-profit organization that launched the first private interplanetary robotic mission to the Moon launched 2019. -

Research Vision: Leveraging behavioural markers to quantify and improve individuals’ Quality of Life in new ways – drawing on new emerging models from computer science incorporating examination, diagnosis, and treatment of daily life as an “organ” – much like a cardiologist examines heart - and the resulting Quality of Life as a "longitudinal vital sign" - routinely reported for patients and non-patients alike. -

Robert D. Wachtel Pronovost
Ph.D. Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2020
BioRobert D. Wachtel Pronovost is a doctoral student in Learning Sciences and Technology Design, Curriculum and Teacher Education, and Leadership for System-wide Inclusive Education at the Stanford Graduate School of Education. He holds a B.A. in Psychology and an M.A. in Elementary Education from Stanford University. His interests center around maker-centered learning and technology integration in elementary schools for the benefit of all students. Through his research, teaching, and service, Robert aims to assist preservice and in-service teachers to support their students, especially historically marginalized populations of students, to discover their love of learning and to have exposure, access, and support to engage experiences that allow them to find their own definition of a successful, meaningful life.
Prior to joining the doctoral program, Robert has taught in elementary classrooms and served in administration at district and county levels. During his time as a district administrator, he built out a system of school makerspaces to help infuse creativity and hands-on learning into students’ school experiences. -
Adrian A. Wackett
Ph.D. Student in Geological Sciences, admitted Autumn 2022
BioAdrian A. Wackett was born and raised in Saint Paul, Minnesota (unceded Wahpekute/Dakota lands). He double majored in Chemistry and Geosciences at Trinity University (TX) before returning to Saint Paul and completing his MS degree in Land & Atmospheric Sciences (specifically pedology/biogeochemistry) at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, where he studied global w'o'rming. Before coming to Stanford as an NSF GRFP Fellow he traveled extensively through Latin America and SE Asia (by bike) and worked as an independent researcher affiliated with the Department of Ecology and Environmental Sciences at Umeå University and the Climate Impacts Research Centre in Abisko, Sweden. He is broadly curious in learning how the world works, and this informs his outlook towards research. Previous topics of inquiry include: coupling ant bioturbation to the erosion and weathering of hillslope soils in SE Australia, exploring earthworm invasions and their deterministic effects on soil carbon stocks and forms in Fennoscandian and Alaskan forests, and examining the biogeochemical diversity of ‘black smoker’ plume particles at deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
