New Faculty Hires

In the 2020/21 academic year, the Transforming Learning Accelerator brought four new faculty to Stanford to lead innovative new research agendas around learning.

Elizabeth Kozleski

Kozleski engages in systems change and research on equity and justice issues in inclusive education in schools, school systems as well as state and national education organizations and agencies. Her research interests include the analysis of systems change in education, how teachers learn and practice in complex, diverse school settings, including how educational practices improve student learning.

Nick Haber

Assistant Professor, Graduate School of Education by courtesy, Computer Science, School of Engineering

Haber earned his PhD in mathematics. He is a cofounder of the Autism Glass Project at Stanford, a research effort that uses wearable technology and computer vision in a tool for children with autism. Additionally, Haber and his research group develop artificial intelligence systems meant to mimic and model the ways people learn early in life, exploring their environments through play, social interaction, and curiosity.

Alfredo Artiles

Professor, Graduate School of Education

Artiles is Lee L. Jacks Professor of Education. His scholarship examines the dual nature of disability as an object of protection and a tool of stratification. He aims to understand how responses to disability intersections with race, social class and language advance or hinder educational opportunities for disparate groups of students.

Shima Salehi

Assistant Professor (Research) Graduate School of Education

Salehi is the director of IDEAL research lab, the research component of Stanford IDEAL initiative to promote inclusivity, diversity, equity and access in learning communities. Her research focuses on how to use different instructional practices to teach science and engineering more effectively and inclusively.
