  • Monther Abu-Remaileh

    Monther Abu-Remaileh

    Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering and of Genetics

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study the role of the lysosome in metabolic adaptation using subcellular omics approaches, functional genomics and innovative biochemical tools. We apply this knowledge to understand how lysosomal dysfunction leads to human diseases including neurodegeneration, cancer and metabolic syndrome.

  • Sara Achour

    Sara Achour

    Assistant Professor of Computer Science and of Electrical Engineering

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am an Assistant Professor jointly appointed to both the Computer Science and the Electrical Engineering Departments at Stanford University. My research focuses on new techniques and tools, specifically new programming languages, compilers, and runtime systems, that enable end-users to more easily develop computations that exploit the potential of emerging computing platforms that exhibit analog behaviors.

  • Maneesh Agrawala

    Maneesh Agrawala

    Forest Baskett Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsComputer Graphics, Human Computer Interaction and Visualization.

  • Alex Aiken

    Alex Aiken

    Alcatel-Lucent Professor of Communications and Networking and Professor of Particle Physics and Astrophysics

    BioAlex Aiken is the Alcatel-Lucent Professor of Computer Science at Stanford. Alex received his Bachelors degree in Computer Science and Music from Bowling Green State University in 1983 and his Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1988. Alex was a Research Staff Member at the IBM Almaden Research Center (1988-1993) and a Professor in the EECS department at UC Berkeley (1993-2003) before joining the Stanford faculty in 2003. His research interest is in areas related to programming languages.

  • Raag Airan

    Raag Airan

    Assistant Professor of Radiology (Neuroimaging and Neurointervention) and, by courtesy, of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and of Materials Science and Engineering

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur goal is to develop and clinically implement new technologies for high-precision and noninvasive intervention upon the nervous system. Every few millimeters of the brain is functionally distinct, and different parts of the brain may have counteracting responses to therapy. To better match our therapies to neuroscience, we develop techniques that allow intervention upon only the right part of the nervous system at the right time, using technologies like focused ultrasound and nanotechnology.

  • Jacqueline Alderson

    Jacqueline Alderson

    Visiting Professor, Bioengineering

    BioProfessor Jacqueline Alderson is the Tech Director of the University of Western Australia Tech & Policy Lab and a Fulbright Senior Scholar and Visiting Professor at Stanford University. She has over 250 publications and reports in the fields of biomechanical modelling, wearable technologies, applied machine learning, injury prevention, and pro-public technology development. From 2012-23 she served on the Executive Councils of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sport, followed by the International Society of Biomechanics. Her current advisory board roles include the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) Female Performance Health Initiative as well as the UK EPSRC Centre, CAMERA 2.0. Her 26 PhD graduates can be found in leading heath, academic, and high-performance and professional sport institutions around the world. These include the MLB and NFL in the United States; national sports institutes (Singapore, UK, AUS); and, in her home country, Swimming Australia, Tennis Australia, and the Australian Football League. As one of the founding architects of Australia’s Digital Athlete program and the ISBS Geoffrey Dyson awardee for 2024, Jacqueline is visiting Stanford Bioengineering to extend her research stream on the development of digital human twins, with a specific focus on the urgent need for technology regulation and governance in this domain. Her project is supported by the American Chamber of Commerce in Australia (Inaugural Professional Alliance Award) and the Fulbright Commission.

  • Juan Alonso

    Juan Alonso

    Vance D. and Arlene C. Coffman Professor and the James and Anna Marie Spilker Chair of the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics

    BioProf. Alonso is the founder and director of the Aerospace Design Laboratory (ADL) where he specializes in the development of high-fidelity computational design methodologies to enable the creation of realizable and efficient aerospace systems. Prof. Alonso’s research involves a large number of different manned and unmanned applications including transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic aircraft, helicopters, turbomachinery, and launch and re-entry vehicles. He is the author of over 200 technical publications on the topics of computational aircraft and spacecraft design, multi-disciplinary optimization, fundamental numerical methods, and high-performance parallel computing. Prof. Alonso is keenly interested in the development of an advanced curriculum for the training of future engineers and scientists and has participated actively in course-development activities in both the Aeronautics & Astronautics Department (particularly in the development of coursework for aircraft design, sustainable aviation, and UAS design and operation) and for the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME) at Stanford University. He was a member of the team that currently holds the world speed record for human powered vehicles over water. A student team led by Prof. Alonso also holds the altitude record for an unmanned electric vehicle under 5 lbs of mass.
