Penelope Eckert
Albert Ray Lang Professor, Emerita
BioThe goal of my research is to understand the social meaning of linguistic variation. In order to do this, I pursue my sociolinguistic work in the context of in-depth ethnographic fieldwork, focusing on the relation between variation, linguistic style, social identity and social practice.
Gender has been the big misunderstood in studies of sociolinguistic variation - in spite of the fact that some of the most exciting intellectual developments over the past decades have been in theories of gender and sexuality ... so I have been spending a good deal of time working on language and gender as well.
Since adolescents and preadolescents are the movers and shakers in linguistic change, I concentrate on this age group, and much of my research takes place in schools. The institutional research site has made me think a good deal about learning and education, but particularly about the construction of adolescence in American society. -
Duncan Eddy
Postdoctoral Scholar, Aeronautics and Astronautics
BioDuncan Eddy is a research fellow in the Stanford University Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He completed his PhD in Aerospace Engineering from Stanford, funded by the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship. His current research is focused on decision-making in safety-critical, climate, and space systems, where operational decisions must be made quickly and correctly in complex environments while still being explainable and understandable by human stakeholders.
He is currently the Executive Director of the Stanford Center for AI Safety, and a post-doctoral researcher with appointments in Mineral-X and the Stanford Intelligent Systems Laboratory (SISL).
Prior to this, He started and led the Spacecraft Operations Group at Capella Space, the first US Commercial Synthetic Aperture Radar Earth Imaging constellation. There he developed the first fully-automated mission operations system, realizing lights-out tasking-to-delivery of radar satellite data for a commercial constellation. He subsequently started and led the Constellation Operations and Space Safety Groups at Project Kuiper. Most recently, he was a Principal Applied Scientist at Amazon Web Services, where he worked on building software services for large-scale distributed edge compute applications. -

Eve Edelstein
Adjunct Professor, Pediatric Anesthesiology
BioDr. Edelstein’s research and practice focus on the measurable impact of the built environment on human performance, health, wellbeing. Eve’s ongoing collaboration with a national quality improvement study explores the impact of noise in operating rooms with Stanford, Harvard, Vanderbilt, Pennsylvania, and other members of SPA.
Eve's recent work with Google and the International WELL Building Institute, explores how the built environment can support the unique abilities of providers and the people they serve to enhance performance and outcomes.
Dr. Edelstein's clinical service and doctoral research at University College London and the National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery, and at the Harvard MIT hearing sciences lab developed and used electrophysiological techniques to show the brain’s efferent control of cochlear function. Eve's degrees in in Anthropology (University California Berkeley), and Master of Architecture offer a unique background for her contributions as a Board member of the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture, the AIA College of Fellows Latrobe Prize on circadian design, the Berkeley Teaching Prize on Neuro-Universal Design, and the Calit2 Strategic Opportunities Award for Virtual Visual and Acoustic hospital design for the University of California San Diego.

Asiri Ediriwickrema MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Hematology)
BioAsiri Ediriwickrema, MD, PhD, is a physician-scientist who leads a systems hematology laboratory at Stanford and directs a clinical practice focused on myelodysplastic neoplasms and clonal hematopoiesis. Asiri leads a research group that studies hematopoiesis—the complex process by which hematopoietic stem cells generate the diverse blood cells essential for health throughout life. We study how individual blood cells change during aging and cancer development, with particular focus on how dysregulation of this process leads to cytopenias and hematologic malignancies.
Our work integrates expertise spanning clinical medicine, functional hematology, molecular and cellular biology, genomics, bioinformatics, and machine learning. By combining advanced experimental techniques with computational approaches, we examine blood cell development and function at single-cell resolution. We aim to identify early cellular changes in cancer development, map how stem cells interact within their tissue environments, and develop computational tools that predict stem cell behavior and disease progression. Our goal is to translate these efforts into improved diagnostics and precision therapeutic strategies for patients with blood disorders and malignancies.
Dr. Ediriwickrema earned his undergraduate degree in Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, his MD (Cum Laude) from Yale University, and his PhD from Stanford University. He completed his residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Hematology at Stanford, where he also conducted his doctoral and postdoctoral research in the laboratory of Dr. Ravi Majeti. His research identified novel populations of multipotent progenitor cells in normal hematopoiesis and leukemia stem cells in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). -
