Alireza Javadian Sabet
Affiliate, Stanford Digital Economy Lab (S-DEL)
BioAlireza Javadian Sabet is a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Chicago Knowledge Lab and a Digital Fellow at Stanford Digital Economy Lab. He earned a PhD in Information Science from the Resilient Economy Lab at the University of Pittsburgh, where his research focused on mapping career adaptability and understanding how skills and experience translate into changing sets of opportunities over time. He also holds a master’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Politecnico di Milano (PoliMi) and previously served as a research fellow at the Data Science Lab and the DEpendable Evolvable Pervasive Software Engineering group. His work has been discussed in policy and business outlets, including The Economist and the American Enterprise Institute.
Alireza studies how transformative AI reshapes labor markets and innovation systems, developing models and measures from large-scale datasets that link technological capabilities to changes in skills, mobility, and knowledge production. His work combines text and trajectory data to track skill formation in education, quantify how career opportunities expand or concentrate over time, and connect these dynamics to the movement of talent across organizations and borders. He is motivated by the broader challenge of assessing and predicting technology outcomes, including how advances diffuse through tasks and institutions, and how choices around funding, training, and governance influence who benefits from technological change. -

Stefanie S. Jeffrey, MD
John and Marva Warnock Professor, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Jeffrey led the multidisciplinary team from the Schools of Medicine, Engineering, and Genome Technology Center that invented the MagSweeper, an automated device that immunomagnetically captures live circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from cancer patient blood for single cell analysis or culture. Her lab also works on microfluidic technologies for tumor cell capture, characterization, and growth - with the goal of defining individual patient response to newer biologically-based cancer therapies.

Ann R. Johnson
Associate Vice Provost, Research Compliance, Vice Provost and Dean of Research - Research Compliance
BioDr. Johnson is the Associate Vice Provost for Research Compliance at Stanford University, overseeing both human and animal research compliance programs. She specializes in research ethics and is an expert in human subjects research regulations and requirements. She is an active member of the research community having conducted research in the fields of public health and research ethics. She has taught undergraduate- and graduate-level courses and is an ardent supporter of research education. She participates in many national forums with the federal government, accrediting bodies, commercial IRBs, and academic research institutions to address problems and priorities for research oversight and quality. She helped establish a single IRB process for the University of Utah and the National Center for Advancing Translational Science-funded Trial Innovation Network. She also worked closely with the SMART IRB initiative to provide harmonized guidance on IRB reliance and the functions of human research protection programs. She also serves as a site visitor for the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs.

Felipe Jornada
Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering
BioFelipe Jornada's research aims at predicting and understanding excited-state phenomena in quantum and energy materials. In order to make reliable predictions on novel materials, he relies on high-performance computer calculations based on parameter-free, quantum-mechanical theories that are developed in his group. He is interested in studying fundamental aspects of these excitations – their lifetimes, dynamics, and stability/binding energies – and how they can be engineered in novel materials, such as nanostructured and low-dimensional systems. His ultimate goal is to use insights from atomistic calculations to rationally design new materials with applications in energy research, electronics, optoelectronics, and quantum technologies.
Felipe received his Ph.D. degree in physics from UC Berkeley in 2017 under the advice of Prof. Steven G. Louie. His Ph.D. research focused on the prediction of the electronic and optical properties of new quasi-two-dimensional materials, such as graphene and monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides. In his postdoc, he studied a number of problems related to multiparticle excitations in low-dimensional materials, including biexcitons and plasmons. Felipe joined the Stanford faculty in January 2020 and an assistant professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
