Mengyu Liang (Amber)
Postdoctoral Scholar, Earth System Science
BioI'm currently a postdoc at Stanford Woods Institute of the Environment working on combining remote sensing and econometric to assess the environmental and social outcomes of natural climate solutions and forest management interventions. I completed my PhD at the Department of Geographical Sciences at UMD in May 2024. During my PhD, I developed remote sensing techniques utilizing multi-source remote sensing data (e.g,. GEDI, ICESat2, Landsat archive, PlanetScope) for monitoring long-term carbon sequestration in forest restoration areas in East Africa. Seeking to understand how to use Earth Observation to improve the sustainability of human-environment interaction is both a passion of mine and the research agenda during my PhD and onwards. Moreover, I have developed skills in forest inventory and Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) data collection from working on field campaigns in Mozambique and Uganda. Developing web-based interactive map dashboards is another set of technical expertise that I have been practicing (see http://mliang8.github.io/ for map portfolio ) and want to employ in future projects to enhance communications with various stakeholders.

Ronglih Liao
Douglass M. and Nola Leishman Professor of Cardiovascular Disease
BioDr. Liao is a Professor of Medicine and co-Director of Stanford Cardiac Amyloid Center. The major goal of her research program focuses on understanding the mechanisms that underlie the pathophysiology of heart failure and developing novel treatments to combat this process. Her laboratory has played an international leading role in the study of amyloid light chain (AL) cardiomyopathy, a rare and fatal form of cardiovascular disease. We have described the underlying pathophysiologic basis for amyloid cardiomyopathy and found that the circulating amyloidogenic light chain proteins that characterize this disease directly result in a specific cardiotoxic response. Consequently, our research work has redefined AL cardiomyopathy and has raised new treatment approaches. More recently, her research efforts have expanded to include transthyretin (ATTR) cardiac amyloidosis.
In line with her goal of revealing novel therapeutic strategies for patients with cardiovascular disease, our efforts have also focused on characterizing and harnessing endogenous cardiac regenerative mechanisms. Her laboratory initially demonstrated the therapeutic potential of exogenous primitive muscle cells delivered to the injured heart. This work was among the earliest milestones in the field and served as the basis for an international trial of cell-based therapy. Subsequently, Liao lab identified and characterized a population of cardiac progenitor cells and its relationship and dynamic activity following cardiac injury in the adult heart. Her laboratory aims to reveal the molecular mechanisms regulating the endogenous regenerative capacity of the heart and to harness such repair mechanisms for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Dr. Liao has lectured extensively on both amyloid cardiomyopathy and stem cell biology, and have maintained a history of independent NIH funding in these areas for more than two decades.
Over the course of her academic career, she has taken the greatest pride in mentoring the next generation of scientists. Dr. Liao has had the privilege to supervise several dozen students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty, many of whom have gone on to independent academic careers at the highest institutions. Her contribution to the advancement of scientific knowledge also includes lecturing at various university and academic institutions as well as at scores of conferences and symposia locally, nationally, and internationally. -

Kang Rui Garrick Lim
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical Engineering
BioI am a materials chemist from Singapore and a Stanford Energy Postdoctoral Fellow with Prof. Matteo Cargnello and Prof. Thomas Jaramillo. In 2027, I will start as a Nanyang Assistant Professor of Materials Science & Engineering at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. I completed my PhD and Master's degree in chemistry at Harvard under Prof. Joanna Aizenberg, and my Bachelor's degree in chemistry from the National University of Singapore (NUS).
At Stanford (2025-), I work on colloidal catalyst design for CO2 conversion as part of the SUNCAT Center for Interface Science and Catalysis. During my PhD at Harvard (2020-2025), I integrated colloidal templating and self-assembly concepts into catalyst design to design 3D macroporous inverse opal structures incorporating dilute alloy nanoparticles to serve as a model thermocatalytic platform. Previously, at NUS and IMRE A*STAR in Singapore (2019-2020), I synthesized MXene nanohybrids for electrocatalysis and designed core-shell quantum dots for light harvesting. My broader research interest is to leverage on colloidal design of catalytic architectures–their active sites and immediate environment–to bridge the materials gap in catalyst design for low carbon energy research. -
