Michael V. McConnell, MD, MSEE
Clinical Professor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy imaging research has involved clinical and molecular Imaging of cardiovascular disease, with a focus on coronary and vascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, aortic aneurysms, and vascular inflammation.
My prevention research has involved innovative technologies to reduce coronary and vascular disease, including early disease detection plus leveraging mobile health and AI to enhance heart heart in patients and populations. -
Susan K. McConnell
Susan B. Ford Professor, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsSusan McConnell has studied the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie the development of the mammalian cerebral cortex. Her work focused on the earliest events that pattern the developing forebrain, enable neural progenitors to divide asymmetrically to generate young neurons, propel the migration of postmitotic neurons outward into their final positions, and sculpt the fates and phenotypes of the neurons as they differentiate.

Erika McEntarfer
Research Scholar and Distinguished Policy Fellow
BioErika most recently served as Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics from 2024 to 2025, and as Senior Economist on the Council of Economic Advisors from 2023 to 2024. In total, she has spent over two decades in nonpolitical roles across the federal government.
Her public service work has focused on developing new economic insights by linking government data in novel ways, and the creation of new labor market statistics. Her research on labor market dynamics has been published in American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics, the Journal of Labor Economics, and the Journal of Economic Perspectives. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Bard College and a Ph.D. in economics from Virginia Tech. -
Daniel McFarland
Professor of Education and, by courtesy, of Sociology and of Organizational Behavior at the Graduate School of Business
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe majority of my current research projects concern the sociology of science and research innovation. Here are some examples of projects we are pursuing:
1. the process of intellectual jurisdiction across fields and disciplines
2. the process of knowledge innovation and diffusion in science
3. the propagators of scientific careers and advance
4. the role of identity and diversity on the process of knowledge diffusion and career advance
5. the process of research translation across scientific fields and into practice
6. the formal properties and mechanisms of ideational change (network analysis, or holistic conceptions of scientific propositions and ideas)
7. developing methods for identifying the rediscovery of old ideas recast anew
8. investigating the process of scientific review
I am also heavily involved in research on social networks and social network theory development. Some of my work concerns relational dynamics and cognitive networks as represented in communication. This often concerns the communication of children (in their writings and speech in classrooms) and academic scholars.
Last, I am heavily involved in institutional efforts to develop computational social science, computational sociology, and education data science on Stanford's campus. -
Michael McFaul
Ken Olivier and Angela Nomellini Professor of International Studies, Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and at the Woods Institute for the Environment
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsAmerican foreign policy, great power relations, comparative autocracies, and the relationship between democracy and development.

Paul McIntyre
Rick and Melinda Reed Professor, Professor of Photon Science and Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy
BioMcIntyre's group performs research on nanostructured inorganic materials for applications in electronics, energy technologies and sensors. He is best known for his work on metal oxide/semiconductor interfaces, ultrathin dielectrics, defects in complex metal oxide thin films, and nanostructured Si-Ge single crystals. His research team synthesizes materials, characterizes their structures and compositions with a variety of advanced microscopies and spectroscopies, studies the passivation of their interfaces, and measures functional properties of devices.
