Christopher Edwards
Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Emeritus
BioThe Edwards research group is focused on fundamental research for advanced energy technologies. The group performs theoretical and experimental studies of energy transformations such that the conversion process can be made cleaner, more efficient, and more controllable than has been possible with traditional technologies. Applications include advanced transportation engines (piston and turbine) and advanced electric power generation with carbon mitigation.

Glynn Edwards
Assistant Director, Special Collections
Current Role at StanfordGlynn is the Assistant Director in the Department of Special Collections & University Archives is primarily in charge of the Collection Services Division and the libraries' Born- and Acquired-Digital Programs. She also collaborates with other managers to develop new programs and directions within the department.
Collection Services staff work collaboratively with over 20 subject specialists and curators throughout the library; we take in over 350 collections each year, totaling between 1,800 and 3,500 linear feet (this is equivalent to 2.5-6 million documents) a year. Our focus is on collection management as well as discovery and access including: acquisitions, cataloging and processing of incoming material in any format - from rare books and papyrus fragments to artifacts and computer media. We also manage all digitization projects and descriptive metadata for special collections materials in conjunction with subject specialists and the digital library group.
The departments' Born-Digital Program collaborates with Digital Libraries Systems and Services as well as the libraries' Metadata Development Unit. The department of Special Collections also directs the ePADD Project - developing software to acquire, process and deliver email archives in our collections. A new release of ePADD software (Version 5.0) came out in winter 2018. -

Matthew R. Edwards
Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering
BioMatthew Edwards is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering. His research applies high-power lasers to the development of optical diagnostics for fluids and plasmas, the study of intense light-matter interactions, and the construction of compact light and particle sources, combining adaptive high-repetition-rate experiments and large-scale simulations to explore new regimes in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, and plasma physics.
Matthew received BSE, MA, and PhD degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University. He was then a Lawrence Fellow in the National Ignition Facility and Photon Science Directorate at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
