BioRubaiat received his undergraduate degree in Applied Physics from the University of Tokyo in 2017. He then moved to the University of California San Diego where he finished his PhD in Physics under Professor Richard Averitt in 2023. During his PhD, he discovered light-induced terahertz parametric amplification and photonic time crystal state in excitonic insulator candidate Ta2NiSe5. His discovery has been featured in multiple media outlets including UCSD Today, Max Planck Institute Newsletter, EurekAlert! and Phys.org. He has also demonstrated a novel extreme-efficient nonresonant nonlinear magnon generation mechanism in Mott insulating Heisenberg antiferromagnet Sr2IrO4.
Currently, Rubaiat is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University investigating terahertz field-induced ultrafast dynamics in van der Waals materials under Professors Tony Heinz and Aaron Lindenberg. At Stanford, he has discovered terahertz-driven transition to a hidden magnetic state in van der Waals (vdW) antiferromagnet MnPS3. He has recently extended his research to subdiffractive THz spectroscopy of 2D vdW materials. His research interests also broadly include Floquet engineering, ultrafast microscopy, and cavity control of quantum materials. In the long term, Rubaiat aims to continue investigating quantum materials that may provide promising platforms for light-driven emergent phenomena and programming light-matter interactions, serving as a bridge between next-generation photonics and materials science. -

Gabriella M. Harari
Assistant Professor of Communication
BioGabriella Harari is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication at Stanford University, where she directs the Media and Personality Lab.
She studies how personality is expressed in the physical and digital contexts of everyday life. Much of her research is focused on understanding what digital technologies reveal about who we are, and how use of digital technologies shapes who we are. Her current projects analyze people’s everyday behavioral patterns (e.g., social interactions, mobility) and environmental contexts (e.g., places visited, social media platforms) to show how they are associated with individual differences in personality and well-being.
Harari takes an ecological approach to conducting her research, emphasizing the importance of studying people and their behavior in natural contexts. To that end, she conducts intensive longitudinal field studies and is interested in mobile sensing methods and analytic techniques that combine approaches from the social and computer sciences. For example, methodologies she uses in her work in include surveys, experience sampling, longitudinal modeling, mobile sensing, data mining, and machine learning.
Harari completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship and earned her PhD at the Department of Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin. She completed her BA in Psychology & Humanities from Florida International University, where she was also a Ronald E. McNair Scholar. Her work has been published in academic outlets such as Perspectives in Psychological Science, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, and the Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies (IMWUT). Her work has also been supported by the National Science Foundation and Stanford HAI Seed Grant Awards. -

Aubrey Hargrave
Temp - Non-Exempt, Ophthalmology Research/Clinical Trials
BioMy research interests are centered on ocular immunology and neuroinflammation. My long-standing interest in eye research stems from personal experience with eye disease, which has led me to explore vision research and underlies my passion for disease-centric research in order to improve quality of life for patients.
I am fascinated by the immune response and inflammation, in part because of its broad applicability to many human diseases. To this end, I am interested in developing an understanding of the interplay between the immune and nervous systems in the ocular microenvironment and my past research has allowed me to explore this interplay within diverse areas of the eye. As an undergraduate, I conducted research with Dr. Rima Mcleod to study patients with toxoplasmosis, a disease affecting both ocular and neural tissue. We created a patient database and investigated whether genotype influences the inflammatory response to the t.gondii parasite. As a predoctoral student with Dr. Alan Burns, my research focused on ocular inflammation in two cases; first, in acute inflammation following a corneal abrasion and second, in the context of systemic inflammation caused by early metabolic syndrome. I analyzed the immune response in both cases and developed methods to determine the effect on corneal nerves.
During my postdoctoral training with Dr. Alfredo Dubra, I am continuing to build on my previous training in vision science, inflammation, and neurodegeneration by using adaptive optics imaging, in conjunction with standard clinical measurements, to explore potential biomarkers in diseases such as multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, and retinal degeneration. With high-resolution in vivo adaptive optics imaging we are able to monitor changes in retinal tissues at the cellular level over time, as well as to observe minute changes in the retina with treatment during clinical trials. -

Prashant Hariharan
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery
BioPrashant Hariharan is a biomedical engineer specializing in the design of "fit-for-purpose" in vitro models to study neurological disorders. He earned his B.E. from the University of Mumbai, an M.S. from the University of Texas at Arlington, an M.Eng. from Cornell University and a PhD from Wayne State University. His doctoral work with Dr. Carolyn A. Harris focused on developing an "organ-chip" model of the choroid plexus to study how cerebrospinal fluid secretion is affected by hydrocephalus. As a postdoctoral scholar in the Fame lab, Prashant is adding new layers of physiological complexity to his previous model to investigate how the body’s circadian clock regulates choroid plexus-driven cerebrospinal fluid production and composition. This work aspires to deliver model-driven insights that can be translated into CSF-centric therapies and ultimately advance the pursuit of precision medicine for brain health.
