Diling Zhu
Senior Scientist, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
BioDiling Zhu is currently the Deputy Division Director for the Science, Research and Development (SRD) Division at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. He is also serving as the LCLS Photon Science R&D program lead, and as one of the Lead Instrument Scientists for the LCLS-II HE upgrade project.
D. Zhu received a Bachelor degree in Physics and Mathematics from Tsinghua University in 2005. He obtained his PhD in Applied Physics from Stanford University in 2010. He was part of the commissioning team for one of the first soft x-ray instruments during his last graduate school years, and joined the XPP instrument when it came online as the world’s first hard x-ray laser instrument in 2010. Zhu led the operation of the XPP instrument through 2022. He was appointed as the LCLS Photon Science R&D program lead since 2016, managing a project portfolio spanning key instrumentation development areas such as x-ray optics, diagnostics, optical laser systems, sample delivery.
Diling Zhu ’s research interest spans x-ray imaging, ultrafast spectroscopy, and in particular the instrumentation development and application for coherent x-ray laser pulses. A few examples are ultrafast x-ray pump-probe methodology development, x-ray delayline and photon correlation spectroscopy development, x-ray laser optics and diagnostics. He is currently co-leading the project in developing the next generation x-ray free electron laser concept that will introduce a beam recirculating cavity into the system, aiming at further enhancing source brightness by 2-3 orders of magnitude. -
Han Zhu
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine)
BioDr. Zhu is an Assistant Professor of Medicine whose clinical and research expertise focuses on cardio-oncology and cardio-immunology. She specializes in the cardiovascular care of patients undergoing therapies for cancer, with a particular focus on the effects of immunotherapies on the heart. She received a bioengineering degree from MIT, medical degree from Case Western Reserve University, and completed clinical cardiology fellowship and internal medicine residency training at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Zhu’s laboratory focuses on myocarditis, cardiac inflammation, and the effects of cancer therapeutics on the cardiovascular system. Her current research employs clinical data, bio-banked samples, and in vivo/in vitro preclinical models in combination with single-cell technologies to study immune-based toxicities in the heart. Dr. Zhu's clinic sees cardio-oncology and cardio-immunology patients and her lab focuses on devising new methods for minimizing cardiovascular complications in the cancer and autoimmune patient populations.

Mengye Zhu
Social Science Research Scholar, Doerr School; Senior Scientist, NatCap
BioDr. Mengye Zhu (she/her) is a Senior Scientist at the Natural Capital Alliance and a Social Science Research Scholar at Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. Her research is focused on climate and environmental policy and political economy, with a particular emphasis on the science–policy interface. She examines key climate discourses, including energy transitions and methane mitigation, with special attention to the roles of “keystone actors,” such as state-owned enterprises. Her work also combines policy analysis with sectoral technical assessments, including leading the development of Global Methane Abatement Solutions Tracker (G-MAST). She has extensive policy engagement experience, supporting high-level climate and environmental dialogues and advancing international collaboration. Before joining Stanford, she worked as an Assistant Research Professor and China Program Co-Director at the Center for Global Sustainability, University of Maryland. She received a Ph.D. in Public Administration from Tsinghua University and a Master's in Public Administration from the University of Pittsburgh.

Rebecca Zhu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychology
BioI am a postdoctoral fellow in developmental psychology at Stanford University, working with Michael C. Frank. Previously, I was a PhD candidate and postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Berkeley, working with Alison Gopnik, and a lab manager at Harvard University, working with Susan Carey.
My research investigates when and how children acquire, and consequently learn from, symbolic systems such as language and pictures. In one line of research, I investigate the mechanisms underlying children’s acquisition of various kinds of non-literal language, such as metaphor and metonymy, as well as how children’s non-literal language comprehension may further guide their thinking and reasoning. In another line of research, I work with urban and rural Kenyan children to investigate the efficacy of picture-based learning materials and the validity of picture-based assessments across cultures and contexts. My work in Kenya is conducted in close collaboration with researchers and non-profit organizations in Kisumu, Mombasa, and Nairobi.
This research program is innovative and interdisciplinary: these findings not only address fundamental debates in psychology, philosophy, and linguistics (i.e., by providing empirical insight into the mechanisms underlying children’s ability to acquire and learn from symbolic systems), but also have direct implications for applied research in education, public health, and developmental economics (i.e., by improving the learning materials and assessment tools used in global early childhood development programs). -
