Shaul Hestrin, PhD
Professor of Comparative Medicine
On Leave from 2026-09-16 To 2026-10-31Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe main interest of my lab is to understand how the properties of neocortical neurons, the circuits they form and the inputs they receive give rise to neuronal activity and behavior. Our approach includes behavioral studies, two-photon calcium imaging, in vivo whole cell recording in behaving animals and optogenetic methods to activate or to silence the activity of cortical neurons.

Christina Hewko
Postdoctoral Scholar, Education
BioChristina Hewko is a postdoctoral fellow in the Stanford Accelerator for Learning’s Equity in Learning Initiative and Dr. Maisha T. Winn’s Futuring for Equity Lab. In addition, she is a Stanford PRISM Baker Fellow. As an interdisciplinary education researcher, she draws on justice-oriented frameworks, the learning sciences, and teacher education to explore co-designed learning environments. She is especially interested in the joint activity and processes that support teachers’ and community members’ learning, well-being, and development of justice-oriented teaching practices. While at Stanford she is exploring possibilities for land-based pedagogies and teacher learning about restorative and Ethnic Studies teaching practices.

Mathis Heyer
Ph.D. Student in Energy Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2024
BioMathis Heyer, from Kiel, Germany, is pursuing a Ph.D. in Energy Science & Engineering at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and a master’s degree in Process Systems Engineering from RWTH Aachen University, Germany, as well as a master’s degree in Management Science and Engineering from Tsinghua University in Beijing.
His research in the Environmental Assessment and Optimization Group at Stanford (https://eao.stanford.edu/) focuses on advancing the understanding of complex energy and process systems through mathematical modeling and optimization. Mathis' work builds on his previous research experiences at the Climate Policy Lab at ETH Zurich and the Sustainable Reaction Engineering Group at Cambridge University. Outside of his academic pursuits, Mathis enjoys volunteering with organizations such as "Engineers Without Borders" and "Europe Meets School" both involved in promoting intercultural exchange.
Mathis has been recognized as a Klaus-Murmann Fellow by the Foundation of German Business (sdw) while at RWTH Aachen and is currently an ERP Fellow with the German Academic Scholarship Foundation and a recipient of the SGF Fellowship.
