Matthew Alexander Abikenari
MD Student, expected graduation Spring 2028
BioMatthew received his undergraduate degree Summa Cum Laude from UCLA in march 2020. After receiving the highest departmental honor, he remained at the UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and conducted full-time clinical and basic sciences research into the molecular foundations of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions. Matthew went onto pursue a graduate degree in Clinical Neuroscience at the University of Oxford as The Queen's College Herbruck Scholar, awarded to only one American student per year. His graduate thesis focused on the paraneoplastic autoimmune manifestations across neurodegenerative diseases as well as genotypic and phenotypic features of Meningiomas. Matthew is currently pursuing clinical and basic science research opportunities in Neurosurgical oncology domain as a current medical student at Stanford University.

Devan Addison-Turner
Ph.D. Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Autumn 2022
Masters Student in Civil and Environmental Engineering, admitted Autumn 2021Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDevan's research at Stanford is focused on reducing inequities in health, education, and society. Devan is leveraging multiple sources of data within the state of California and nationwide to develop a holistic Energy Poverty Index to evaluate and guide policy. Devan's research addresses disparities in racial equity by helping to identify communities and schools that are most vulnerable and at-risk based on socio-economic, health, and environmental factors.

Rachel Adenekan
Ph.D. Student in Mechanical Engineering, admitted Spring 2018
Stanford Student Employee, Vice Provost for Graduate EducationBioI am passionate about working at the interface of medicine and engineering to develop novel technologies that enable and encourage humans to live healthier lives. During my time at Stanford, I have built and led collaborations between engineers and clinicians, and have led research design, execution, and analysis for the development of multiple mobile health technologies. Currently, I am developing and deploying a high-resolution, reproducible, and accessible (to clinicians and patients) screening method for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) using a smartphone which can identify individuals at risk for DPN prior to overt clinical manifestation and at a potentially reversible stage. Previously, I developed methods of controlling wearable robotic devices (exoskeletons) to enhance balance ability in older adults.

Oluwakemisola Adeusi
Ph.D. Student in German Studies, admitted Autumn 2022
Ph.D. Minor, Political ScienceBioKemi’s research interests include transnational, Afro-German, and migrant literature. She intends to explore the works of authors in these categories and examine how they narrate experiences from various perspectives defying single-stranded representations and how they foster future possibilities.
Before joining Stanford German Department as a Ph.D student in 2022, she earned a B.A degree in German from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria in 2019, and completed her M.A program in German from the University of Alabama Tuscaloosa in 2022. In 2021, she became a member of the Delta Phi Alpha Honours Society and the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. She received the DAAD Summer program scholarship in 2017 and 2022 and travelled to Aachen and Münster respectively.
She enjoys conversations about feminism, development of human rights, diversity and inclusion as well as cultural similarities and differences. She co-founded a language school in Nigeria in 2016 as a contribution to the development of multilingualism. -
Izabel Pirimai Aguiar
Ph.D. Student in Computational and Mathematical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2018
Digital Transformation Course Grader, Stanford Center for Professional DevelopmentBioHello! I’m a fifth year PhD candidate at ICME where I’m lucky to be advised by Johan Ugander, and grateful to be a Knight-Hennessy Scholar and NSF Graduate Research Fellow. I received my BS in Applied Mathematics and Statistics from the Colorado School of Mines in May 2017 and my MS in Computer Science from the University of Colorado, Boulder in August 2018. After receiving my MS I was a visiting researcher in the Stanford Autonomous Systems Lab, a Safeway cake decorator, and the owner and baker of Bell’s Bakery.
