Dr. David Donoho is a mathematician who has made fundamental contributions to theoretical and computational statistics, as well as to signal processing and harmonic analysis. His algorithms have contributed significantly to our understanding of the maximum entropy principle, of the structure of robust procedures, and of sparse data description.

Dr. Everett Moding is a physician scientist in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Stanford University. Clinically, he focuses on the treatment of patients with sarcomas using radiation therapy, and he is engaged in prospective and retrospective clinical research. He has diverse research expertise in pre-clinical models and next-generation sequencing based approaches to analyze human samples. He has used genetically engineered mouse models to study radiation biology and the contribution of the tumor microenvironment to cancer development and response to therapy.

Amir Safavi-Naeini is an Associate Professor of Applied Physics at Stanford University. He received his B.A.Sc. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Waterloo in Canada in 2008, and his Ph.D. in Applied Physics at the California Institute of Technology in 2013 (Painter lab). He came to Stanford in September 2014 after a post-doc at ETH Zurich in the group of Andreas Wallraff.

Dr. Anna Lembke received her undergraduate degree in Humanities from Yale University and her medical degree from Stanford University. She is currently Professor and Medical Director of Addiction Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine. She is also Program Director of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Fellowship, Chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic, and a diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and the American Board of Addiction Medicine. 

Dr. George Poultsides is Section Chief of Surgical Oncology and Professor of Surgery at Stanford University. He is a high-volume oncologic surgeon specializing in the management of complex cancers of the pancreas, liver, stomach and retroperitoneum. He joined Stanford in 2009 after completing fellowship training in Surgical Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering and in Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) Surgery at Johns Hopkins. From a scholarly perspective, he has published extensively on the multidisciplinary management of HPB and upper GI malignancies. 

Dr. Jonathan Polimeni's lab is focused on developing technologies for high-resolution functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) at ultra-high magnetic field strengths, and on applying these to understanding the human brain. A key goal is to improve the specificity and interpretability of human fMRI, both for inferring neuronal activity and for measuring neurovascular function in health and disease.

Dr. Siegfried Glenzer, who is the recipient of the recent E. O. Lawrence award, is Professor and High-Energy-Density division director at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. He joined SLAC as a distinguished scientist in 2013 to build a new discovery-class program in exploring matter in extreme conditions using high-power lasers and the world-class Linac Coherent Light Source x-ray beam.

Dr. Cansu Karakas is an Assistant Professor, with subspecialty expertise in Breast Pathology. Her academic career spans notable institutions such as MD Anderson Cancer Center and (2010–2017) and NYU (2017-2018). She is passionate about research with a focus on HER2-driven breast cancers, artificial intelligence (AI) applications in breast cancer and identifying resistance mechanisms to guide novel, personalized therapeutic strategies in breast cancer.

Dr. Michelle A. Williams, ScD, is Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health and Associate Chair for Academic Affairs in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health at Stanford University, School of Medicine.
