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.

Dr. Brad Osgood is a mathematician by training and applies techniques from analysis and geometry to various engineering problems. He is interested in problems in imaging, pattern recognition, and signal processing.

Dr. Natalia Serna is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health Policy at Stanford University and a SIEPR and Stanford Global Health Faculty Fellow. 

Dr. Serna's research agenda lies at the intersection of industrial organization of health care markets and health outcomes research. She is specifically interested in how health insurance plan design affects patient outcomes and doctor decision making. 

Dr. Jeremy Goldhaber-Fiebert is a Professor of Health Policy and a Core Faculty Member in the Centers for Health Policy and Primary Care and Outcomes Research. His research focuses on complex policy decisions surrounding the prevention and management of increasingly common, chronic diseases and the life course impact of exposure to their risk factors.

Dr. Laura Seeholzer did her PhD at Rockefeller University with Dr. Vanessa Ruta and post-doctoral studies at UCSF with Dr. David Julius.

Dr. Feng Vankee Lin is a leader in research on brain aging and dementia. Dr. Lin's career has been devoted to understanding the neural mechanisms involved in brain aging and brain plasticity, with a special focus on early detection and prevention of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Her research approach integrates principles and findings from cognitive theory, clinical neuroscience, and computational neuroscience. This approach is complemented by Dr.

Dr. Susan Clark is an astrophysicist, with primary research interests in cosmic magnetism and the physics of the interstellar medium. She is interested in interdisciplinary collaborations that spark new approaches to using heterogeneous data for physical discovery.

Dr. Clark's group is working on a diverse set of problems involving Galactic and extragalactic magnetism, 3D ISM structure, interstellar turbulence, star formation, and polarized cosmological foregrounds, among other topics.
