Yousuf Khan
Instructor, Molecular and Cellular Physiology
BioI am a PhD student in Stanford Biosciences, department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology. I am broadly interested in basic molecular processes that occur in the cell and aim to delineate these mechanisms using biochemistry, molecular biology, bioinformatics and biophysics. I am also available as a consultant for bio-tech ventures.

Rajnish Khanna, Ph.D.
Senior Investigator, Central Mgmt-Misc AR
BioRajnish Khanna, M.Sc. Ph.D., is a photobiologist and entrepreneur focused on nutrition, health, and sustainable practices. He is a Senior Investigator at the Carnegie Institution for Science at Stanford University, the founder and CEO of the agricultural technology company, i-Cultiver, Inc., and co-founder and Executive Director of “Urban Green Project”. He holds positions as adjunct faculty in biology at the Contra Costa Community College. Khanna leads research and development in agriculture, focusing on product efficacy trials and sustainable growing practices. Khanna's work emphasizes bridging the gap between academic agricultural research and its practical application for farmers, focusing on technologies and data to improve global agro-ecology projects. He obtained his Ph.D. in Biological Sciences (Plant Molecular Biology) from Purdue University. Khanna applies photobiology to explore the science of consciousness. He has developed a unique and testable “Theory of Spatial Relativity” exploring the origins of consciousness. He is the host of the TerreScience podcast/YouTube channel, which focuses on soil and planetary health, and on the science of consciousness. For a full bio, visit (www.rajnishkhanna.com).
Khanna collaborates with Dr. Ulrich Kutschera, both are former members of the Winslow Briggs-Lab at Stanford University, see "Stanford Profile Winslow R. Briggs" (https://profiles.stanford.edu/winslow-briggs?tab=publications). Khanna and Kutschera continue research on "Evolutionary Plant Physiology & Photomorphogenesis" via the publication of peer-reviewed papers inspired by and dedicated to the memory of their former mentor, see "In memory of Winslow R. Briggs" (http://www.evolutionsbiologen.de/winslow-r-briggs.html"). -
Makrand Khanwale
Physical Science Research Scientist
BioI received my PhD from Iowa State University co-majoring in Mechanical engineering and Applied Mathematics. I was co-advised by Dr. Baskar Ganapathysubramanian and Dr. James Rossmanith. For my dissertation I worked on development and analysis of numerical schemes for high fidelity simulations of multiphase flows. Specifically I developed energy stable numerical methods to simulate two-phase flows using Cahn-Hilliard Navier-Stokes equations. I also have experience in development of tools to analyse and understand complex physical processes like multi-phase flows and turbulence. Before joining Iowa State for my graduate work, I had a brief stint as a research associate in Dr. Krishnaswamy Nandakumar‘s group in Louisiana State University (LSU). At LSU I worked on developing theoretical models for energy cascades in multi-phase flows.

Bayan Kharrat
Postdoctoral Scholar, Developmental Biology
BioDr. Bayan Kharrat is a postdoctoral researcher in the Goins Lab at Stanford University School of Medicine, where she studies the mechanisms governing fate commitment in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in Drosophila, with a focus on identifying key regulatory factors involved in this process.
Dr. Kharrat earned her Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Szeged and conducted her graduate research at the HUN-REN Biological Research Centre in Szeged, where she investigated the dual role of Headcase, an imaginal cell factor, in maintaining progenitor cells in the larval lymph gland. Her expertise spans Drosophila genetics, developmental biology, molecular biology, and confocal microscopy. -
Eugenia Khassina
Advanced Lecturer
BioEugenia (Zhenya) Khassina is a Lecturer in Russian and Russian Language Program Coordinator. She received her BA in Linguistics and MA in Foreign Language Acquisition Methodology from Maurice Torrez Foreign Language Pedagogical University in Moscow, Russia
Foreign language pedagogy and second language acquisition has always been central to her professional interests. She has had extensive experience in teaching Russian as a foreign language from beginning to advanced and has been teaching at Stanford since 2004. -
Oussama Khatib
Weichai Professor and Professor, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering
BioRobotics research on novel control architectures, algorithms, sensing, and human-friendly designs for advanced capabilities in complex environments. With a focus on enabling robots to interact cooperatively and safely with humans and the physical world, these studies bring understanding of human movements for therapy, athletic training, and performance enhancement. Our work on understanding human cognitive task representation and physical skills is enabling transfer for increased robot autonomy. With these core capabilities, we are exploring applications in healthcare and wellness, industry and service, farms and smart cities, and dangerous and unreachable settings -- deep in oceans, mines, and space.

Suchismito Khatua
Ph.D. Student in Modern Thought and Literature, admitted Autumn 2023
Ph.D. Minor, Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies
Grad Writing Tutor, Hume CenterBioSuchismito Khatua works on figurations of negativity, antisociality, and postrevolutionary despair in South Asian poetry, performance, and cinema from the late twentieth into the twenty-first century. His doctoral dissertation, titled "The Uses of Despair: Modernism at the End of the World," emerges at the intersections of New Modernist Studies, Feminist and Queer Theory, and Critical Caste Studies. Before coming to Stanford, he studied English and Cinema Studies at the University of Calcutta, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, and the Freie Universität Berlin. He writes in – and translates between – Bangla and English.

Paul A. Khavari, MD, PhD
Carl J. Herzog Professor of Dermatology in the School of Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe work in epithelial tissue as a model system to study stem cell biology, cancer and new molecular therapeutics. Epithelia cover external and internal body surfaces and undergo constant self-renewal while responding to diverse environmental stimuli. Epithelial homeostasis precisely balances stem cell-sustained proliferation and differentiation-associated cell death, a balance which is lost in many human diseases, including cancer, 90% of which arise in epithelial tissues.
