Lu Ji
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiation Biology
BioDriven by the enthusiasm and curiosity about life science and human disease, I have been working on cancer research for more than 5 years. I focus on developing novel therapeutic targets from tumor microenvironment and uncovering mechanisms of tumor progression, especially with expertise in gastrointestinal tumor biology and tumor microenvironment analysis. Now I'm digging into a field about finding a way to empower immunotherapy by appropriately utilizing radiation therapy.

Ruizhe Jia
Assistant Professor of Management Science and Engineering
BioI am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Management Science & Engineering at Stanford University. I earned my Ph.D. in Operations Research at Columbia University, advised by Prof. Agostino Capponi, and completed my B.S. and M.A. in Mathematics at UCLA.
My research sits at the intersection of financial technology, market microstructure, and mechanism design. I study how financial markets function and how they can be redesigned for greater efficiency and fairness, with a particular focus on decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain-based trading. My work spans three areas:
Market microstructure — analyzing trading behavior and designing better financial markets.
FinTech and DeFi — examining how cryptographic tools and decentralized protocols reshape financial transactions.
Incentives in financial technology — addressing misalignments that emerge in crypto-finance and proposing mechanisms that improve adoption and efficiency.
I believe finance is a social science that benefits from active engagement with real markets. I work closely with both industry and regulators to ensure my research not only advances theory but also informs practice and policy in digital assets and financial technology. -

Emily Jiang
Graduate Admissions System and Operations Manager, Graduate Admissions
BioEmily started her journey at Stanford in 2010 as a graduate student in chemistry. Through her experiences teaching undergraduates and mentoring other teaching assistants in chemistry, she discovered her passion for helping students navigate the intricacies of their academic experience, and this led her to shift her career path toward higher education administration after earning her M.S. in Chemistry in 2012.
Emily spent the early part of her career working in the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Graduate School of Business in functions that span graduate admissions, student life, and course registration for the largest graduate student populations on campus (1000+). In these student services roles, she was always drawn to systems and making operations run more efficiently, and this led her to pursue a unique opportunity to serve as the technical lead for Knight-Hennessy Scholars starting in 2018, the year of the program's inaugural cohort.
In 2021, Emily joined Student and Academic Services as the first Graduate Admissions System and Operations Manager. In this hybrid technical/managerial role, she hopes to establish a strong structure to actively configure and maintain Stanford's new graduate admissions system (Slate by Technolutions), while nurturing a community across campus that will work together to optimize the applicant, staff, and faculty experience. Outside of work, she plays violin in the Palo Alto Philharmonic and practices "kitchen chemistry" through her love of cooking. -
